For Sinus Symptoms "The Nasonex spray dispenser says 65 sprays. I've been spraying only twice in each nostril per day and have had it for 2 weeks, and it ran out, so only 56 sprays. I have no issue with the medicine because it works, it's just the shortchanging of 9-10 sprays to save money on their end, but at a cost to the customer."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I was on Nasonex for 5 months, and it was very helpful in relieving my sinus issues and my ETD, which were caused by allergies. However, the side effects are hard to deal with, so eventually I decided to switch to using antihistamines rather than steroid sprays."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I had a cold with a stuffy nose, so I don't know why my doctor prescribed this for me. I wish I could give this product a zero. It did absolutely nothing for me except give me severe nosebleeds. I would love to contact the company to complain, but I can't find their contact information anywhere. Worst 50 bucks I ever spent."

For Allergic Rhinitis "It is a nightmare! Our pedia prescribed Nasonex for my 1-year and 10-month-old baby because he is having difficulty breathing at night. When he started using Nasonex, everything went wrong. My baby's nose has a very loud sound when he is inhaling and difficulty breathing, which is getting much worse. I am worried it could be life-threatening because he cannot breathe. We don't have normal sleep anymore. When I stopped giving Nasonex, the bad side effects lessened, although he still has trouble breathing. I pray to God that everything will get normal soon."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Nasonex was prescribed because I can't breathe easily through my nose. It is hard to sleep at night, and breathing through my mouth is very troublesome. I would wake several times at night with a dry mouth, throat, and in the morning, have a raspy voice. The doctor thought I might have allergies and thought the Nasonex might open up nasal passages."

For Sinus Symptoms "The product works well. The problem is the packaging. Why don't manufacturers stop using so much unnecessary packaging for their products when disposal is such a growing problem? Nasonex Allergy comes in a lovely plastic container that does not require a huge cardboard box, more than twice the size of the container. There is now a large space just for directions. It's about time these manufacturers started getting a little innovative with their packaging and reduced the need for unwanted excessive packaging that continues to produce problems for landfill."

For Sinus Symptoms "First of all, it didn't really help me, I still suffered as much after I used it a few times for a sinusitis that was about to start. Second, it caused a huge cold sore to burst on my lip. I only had a cold sore once before (the first time I was infected), so I don't have much doubt that Nasonex is what caused it."
