For Allergic Rhinitis "It worked like magic for my allergy symptoms. I think it took about 24 to 48 hours to kick in. Now I only use 1 spray per nostril every day. If I skip for more than 2 days, I start sneezing again, and that's how I know this medication works. Now I am interested in looking into long-term use."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Nasonex worked, grateful for my sinuses. It helped with preventing headaches. The bad thing is I lost my sense of smell. I used it for a very short time and stopped when I realized I couldn't smell. It has been over 3 months since I used it. The sense hasn't returned. I also lost my sense of taste. The taste came back after 2 or 3 weeks of not using the product."

For Nasal Polyps "About two years ago, I stayed home sick with what I thought was the flu. After about a week of misery and no relief, I went to the doctor. He told me that all the awful, flu-like symptoms were actually my hay fever acting up, and because I had waited too long to come in, I now had nasal polyps. Many members of my extended family have had them and treated them with Nasonex or even surgery (my aunt can't taste or smell now). Since then, I've used Nasonex nearly every night. There's a very obvious difference between nights I take it and nights that I forget - I tend to wake up with throat congestion and a runny nose. Only once have I actually had a full-on nosebleed."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I went to see my doctor about inflammation to my throat and a slight bit of congestion in the mornings. He prescribed Nasonex. What a relief. Although my symptoms are probably slight compared to most others, this product was easy to use and effective without the harsh chemical feel or taste associated with other nasal medications. Instead of two sprays per nostril, I have elected to use just one spray in each nostril and found my symptoms relieved. If your opinion of nasal sprays is anything like mine used to be, give Nasonex a try for your seasonal allergies."

For Allergic Rhinitis "This nose spray has been working great for me. It has transformed my allergic life from literally not being able to function to the normal me. I can't be more grateful. No side effects at all. It is also amazing how it was effective from the second use onwards. I do recommend the continuous use of it."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I've had an annoying and embarrassing hay fever-related symptom for about 10 years. First, red eyes and itchy tear ducts, which progressed to eyelid twitching. At first, my eyelids twitched whenever I sneezed, but then it would happen randomly and increased in frequency. It became so bad I would avoid meetings at the office. I tried the common hay fever medication, and some helped off and on, but I could never get the darn twitching to stop. A few months ago, I saw my doctor for an unrelated issue, and he prescribed Nasonex. My hay fever, itchy eyes, and eyelid twitching DISAPPEARED within a few days. I feel like a new person now!!!"

For Sinus Symptoms "Gave me horrible migraines, insomnia, anxiety; and all for nothing, my sinuses are exactly the same. Avoid. I don't know why doctors prescribe this. This should be taken off the market. I suffered miserably for months. Sudafed is as bad as well. Avoid Sudafed at all costs."

For Allergic Rhinitis "My permanently blocked and stuffed-up nose cleared within about 3 days of starting this medication; it was fantastic until about two days later when I began to suffer some serious side effects: hives, conjunctivitis in one eye, and flu-like aches and pains. I felt so awful I quit taking the medication that day. Now I'm too scared to try it again! If it hadn't been for the side effects, I would've given 10/10."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I've had hay fever for over a decade now, and every summer I have suffered very badly with it. I had tried everything from pharmacy to natural remedies, which weren't helping, and every year my summers would be ruined due to being ill with it constantly. But I recently got given Nasonex by my doctor, and within 2 days I had no hay fever symptoms and haven't now for over 3 weeks since I've had it, although the pollen count has been high throughout. Very grateful for this product."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I went to the doctor because of a serious flu that affected my breathing because of post-nasal drips, extreme coughing, and fearsome blockage of my throat while coughing. Among two other medicines, including general cough medicine, he prescribed Nasonex. This has helped tremendously. It has cleared my nasal passages and it has allowed me to breathe properly. It has stopped my heavy snoring, which was caused by having to breathe through my mouth. I do not know whether I am imagining it, but for years I have had erectile dysfunction, so much so that I have given up trying anything to cure it and just accepted my condition. However, lately I am getting reasonable erections at night, and I wonder if it is some beneficial side effect of Nasonex."

For Allergic Rhinitis "This is the best product I've ever used for allergies. For a long time, I've suffered terribly with hay fever, which antihistamines controlled, but it was the constant itchy face, nose, and neck that made life miserable for me, and I couldn't find anything to control it. I had tried other nasal sprays, but to no avail. A friend recommended Nasonex, and I tried it reluctantly. After 1 week of taking it (one spray in each nostril every morning), I am delighted. No more itchiness, sneezing, watery eyes, and no more misery!! I'm very happy and grateful, and I've suffered no side effects so far."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Nasonex worked great for what it was intended. My nasal passages opened up during the worst allergy season on record, and I didn't want to scratch my face off. I had to stop using it, though, because it was causing tension headaches and eye weirdness. I even stopped and started again to make sure it was the Nasonex, and it was. Oh well. It's worth trying if your insurance covers it, otherwise, it's $200+..."

For Sinus Symptoms "My son experienced an adverse reaction the morning after the first dose (1 spray per nostril). He complained of a headache I thought was just because of his colds, he coughed more frequently and late in the afternoon, he had a low-grade fever. Then he complained his legs ached. I related all these to different things like another cold or too much playing. Then I read the drug info, that's when I had a hunch, so after the second spray, I observed his reaction in the first 2 hours. Then the coughing happened again. I will stop the spray now and find a way to talk to the doctor tomorrow. I gave him Benadryl syrup and nebulized him with salbutamol. His usual treatment during attacks."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I have been taking Nasonex for 8 years for seasonal allergies to various tree pollens. I get the horribly itchy eyes/nose/palate and runny nose. If I start taking Nasonex a few weeks prior to spring pollen season, it really helps and reduces about 90% of my symptoms. This way, I can still function for the month or two of pollen season. I would recommend this to people with birch tree allergies."

For Sinus Symptoms "I've been using Nasonex for a good 3 weeks now, and it really doesn't seem to work at all. If anything, it seems to make my nose even more runny, and now I can even taste it. Use with caution, it could make your problem worse."

For Allergic Rhinitis "After having quite a lot of tests on allergies done, and still unable to find out what the problem of my running nose was, using Nasonex helped to relieve the most unpleasant effects of my condition. I have not experienced any side effects. What I enjoy the most is that this spray doesn't destroy or acidify my nose."

For Sinus Symptoms "I have a severe s-shaped septum and chronic sinus issues. I found that this drug worked, I started to get my sense of smell back, pressure started to subside, but it caused horrible side effects. I felt tight, like I couldn't breathe properly, very anxious all the time, aching muscles, weakness. I also developed strange, unexpected pains in my chest."

For Sinus Symptoms "Got prescribed Nasonex for sinusitis. I was supposed to be on it for a month, but I could only handle the side effect symptoms for a week. I wanted to alleviate my sinus symptoms because of the sinus headaches I was getting, but Nasonex just gave me even more intense headaches that made my cheeks and forehead go numb. My nasal cavities are a little clearer, but I can't even function with these headaches. So not worth the trade-off."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Nasonex changed my life! I have severe hay fever symptoms, but using Nasonex every night before going to sleep relieved all symptoms. I have been using it for 8 years, and I can genuinely say that it changed my life."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I've been using it for a while, and it didn't work well for me. I changed to another spray, and it got much better. I also had the problem where the mist did not actually reach where it was supposed to go, but rather just drooled out."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I've been using Nasonex off and on for quite a few years, especially in the wintertime, as I have a constant runny nose and frequent sinus infections. I recently realized that I have frequent headaches and migraines, mostly in the wintertime also. This medication was a godsend for me in the beginning, but it's not anymore. After long-term use, it seems like my sinuses are burning all the time, and my nose is still running whether I use it or not. I often have heart palpitations and have even had heart tests for that. I have decided to go off this medication for a long period of time to see if any of the symptoms I've described are caused by Nasonex."

For Sinus Symptoms "I use Nasonex for sinus/nasal swelling that causes headaches or fluid buildup in my ears. It had always been more effective than antihistamines or anti-inflammatory meds. I have issues with dry mouth, and I think Nasonex aggravates it, but I had to quit Nasonex completely once I got dental implants. I got four dental implants, and Nasonex causes the gum tissue around them to become so sensitive that I get queasy when my cheek rubs against my gums. It takes a long time to get better, and my allergist and dentist are perplexed. There is no redness or sores, in fact, the gums look 100% normal, but the sensitivity is extremely uncomfortable and can last for weeks. It is awful that I have to choose which issue I have to live with. One doctor did say they saw a very, very faint white lace pattern on the gums where it hurt, but everyone else said they saw no sign of something being physically wrong."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Absolutely a wonder drug. For me, this changed my life after years of miserable, miserable allergy seasons. I have almost ZERO allergy symptoms in the spring while taking this for the last 3 years. Unclear if there are side effects, will pay more attention when I stop this year. Anyway, they are minor enough to justify this drug that totally changed my spring from hell to something quite better."

For Nasal Polyps "Pump action spray is terrible. I prime it, have a couple of sprays, and then it comes out in drips. So I repeat the priming again until I get a spray. Meanwhile, I’m pumping half of my medication into the air. I use this product on and off for years as needed. It is excellent, but please fix the bottle. Other products I use, such as Fess spray, work excellently, so why not yours? For the price, I don’t want to waste it."

For Sinus Symptoms "I have been using Nasonex for years with no problems or side effects. I suffer from bad allergies and sinus infections, and with the help of Sudafed or Sinutab and Nasonex, along with some Allegra, I am good to go. Whenever I feel any discomfort during allergy season, these products help, and I don't see any side effects."
