Faster Bro: Allergy Relief

Posted by Staff on Thursday, May 30, 2024

By Karen L. Kier
Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU Healthwise Team 

A recent commercial uses the saying “it’s faster bro” to promote an over the counter product for seasonal allergy symptoms. There has been negative feedback about the commercial on social media because of the phrase. Did you know the term “bro” dates back to the 1830s-1840s as an abbreviation for brother? Only in the last decade did bro become a slang term for a male friend.  

When it comes to allergy symptom relief, is the advertised Astepro® Allergy nasal spray really faster bro?

The short answer is yes! It has a faster onset of action in relieving allergy symptoms. However, there is more to the story. 

There are five common categories to treat and/or prevent allergies including prescription and over the counter drugs. These categories include antihistamines, decongestants, corticosteroids, mast cell stabilizers and leukotriene inhibitors.
