For Allergic Rhinitis "This stuff appears to work, although it says there is a major interaction with another medication that I take daily and am dependent upon. Furthermore, the way that it tastes is like a strong drug, and that's very strange. It does seem to work, and I keep reading that it causes drowsiness, but I am experiencing no drowsiness whatsoever. The reason I have been switched to this is that I cannot take Zyrtec or Allegra or any of the other medications except Benadryl, which does cause extreme drowsiness."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I am so glad my doctor prescribed this to me. I was constantly sniffling and reaching for tissues practically year-round. I started using this 2 weeks ago, and I can finally breathe through my nose 99% of the time! It has a bitter taste, but it is not all that noticeable to me, and I don’t use any specific spray technique. I have noticed zero cognitive effects like sedation."
