Does Azelastine HCL Nasal Spray Contain Steroid In It?

Does Azlastine HCI Nasal Spray/Solution have steroids in it? Also is this okay to use for people who suffer high blood pressure, my doctor subscribed this to me on the basis that it will be okay with my current HBP which is being controlled by medication.
