"I used the Ayr gel to moisten my nasal passages, and it caused the membranes to swell. Developed a headache, and my throat has become very irritated and have hoarseness. I stopped using it over a week ago and am still having problems. Do not recommend this product to anyone."

"My respiratory doctor recommended the Ayr Saline Nasal Gel as my passages were dry, and I developed a sore inside my nose from using my CPAP. After just a few days, the sore is healing and the dryness is gone. The Ayr worked and did exactly what I needed it to do for my dry and irritated nasal passages from CPAP."

"I bought the AYR Saline Nasal Gel on the recommendation of my pulmonary doctor. Almost immediately after using a little bit to coat the nasal interior, I experienced sneezing and burning of the interior nasal cavity. My nose started to run. I am so thankful, and I was able to blow most of this out. I tried it again tonight, and I had the same experience. It is now in the garbage. I went back to using organic pure sesame seed oil...."

"I purchased Ayr Nasal Mist after experiencing another nosebleed and reading that saline spray would help keep the nose not so dry. Immediately after taking just a small spray in each nostril, I developed a sore throat, sneezing, and throat irritation similar to a cold. I have not taken any more of this product, and my symptoms are slowly clearing up. I also experienced headaches. At first, I thought it was just a coincidence and I was getting a cold, but after reading about this product, now I know I cannot use it ever again. I should have read this before I purchased it."

"I’ve been having very dry nasal passages, something I’ve never really experienced before, and my grandmother purchased the gel and another spray product from another brand. Upon using the gel, my nasal passages began to burn like crazy, and it did not stop for about 10 minutes. It should also be said that it didn’t really do the job either."

"I normally use the regular AYR Nasal Saline Spray, but I bought and tried the AYR Allergy & Sinus Nasal Mist. Within a day or two, I noticed that I was having difficulty breathing. Running short of breath when just going up the stairs. I passed the static EKG and the treadmill stress tests that my doctor ordered. Thank God! The doctors who looked at my results suggested that I stop using the AYR Sinus and Allergy Nasal Spray because they suspected that I may be allergic to the increased hypotonic solution of sodium chloride. Note: the regular solution had 0.65 percent. The Sinus and Allergy solution has 2.65 percent of the hypotonic sodium chloride."

"I just tried this, a pharmacist recommended it to me to keep my nose from drying out from using my oral inhaler. I often get bad nose bleeds. This stuff burns like crazy! I put just a tiny bit in the front part of each nostril. I felt like my nose was on FIRE. And the post-nasal drip that went down the back of my throat burned quite a bit too. After about 4 minutes, my nose feels better, but to be honest, I'm not sure it's because the stuff worked or because the burning stopped. Next time, if there is a next time, I'll try just putting a bit above my upper lip in front of my nostrils."

"I always use this saline to help thin my mucus. Works well. Noticed a lot of people on here saying they used the gel inside their nose. Don’t understand that when it specifically says not to and why! I wouldn’t even if a doctor said to. No wonder they had bad experiences! The regular saline is all you need!"

"I have used it two separate times, and both times I have ended up with a severe sore throat and laryngitis. Something I did not have before use. I blame it on the Ayr dripping down the back of my throat. I followed directions exactly."

"I had used it to try and protect my nose from irritation resulting from constantly blowing my stuffy and runny nose. The first application immediately started burning, way more than similar products have. I at first assumed it was because my nose was possibly already raw or irritated. But within the first two minutes, the pain became unbearable, and my nose was brighter than Rudolph’s. I washed it off and tried using cold water to ease the discomfort. Where I applied the gel started peeling, and even now, a full three days later, the area is still peeling and red."

"Have used the spray for years due to severely dry sinus conditions. For allergies, I was using Flonase spray, but the side effect was bloody sinus. MD prescribed Ayr Saline Nasal Gel to be used prior to using Flonase. It does burn my nasal passages a bit, but the bloody sinus side effect of the Flonase has been eliminated. I only use it during severe allergy attacks to supplement the Flonase. It works well for me."

"Been using Ayr for around a year. Seems to work, but I keep having scabs that just won’t go away! I’m beginning to think it’s because I’m using this stuff. I stopped using Ayr nasal gel a couple of days ago. Instead, I have used just a tiny bit of Vaseline. Guess what? No scabs! Guess this stuff doesn’t work as good as I thought!"

"I use this nasal spray regularly for nasal congestion. My major complaint is that for the last 2 months or so, the bottles have been nearly impossible to open! The top is jammed on so tight that it can only be opened by prying it off with a sharp knife. I thought it was a one-time manufacturing error when it first happened, but it's been so long now I'm not sure what the problem is."

"I used this for a dry nose, but it made my nose burn, and then the following day I had a slight nosebleed and a burning in my nose. I notice the color was blue, and now the gel is a lighter shade of blue, but I still have the same problem. Stopped using it, going back to the ENT who prescribed this to me."

"The product is good for blocked Eustachian tubes, but about half of all products are impossible to open because the tops are on too tight. Given their expense, it's annoying that manufacturers can't create a better top that is frequently so difficult to open."

"I sprayed some of this in my nose, and my nose instantly started swelling up, swelling up. I read the ingredients, and it's even got alcohol. I pulled out a NeilMed that's just saline and water, put it in the Ayr sprayer, and immediately my sinuses started clearing up. I will never use AYR again. Also, it seems to leave some sort of a nasty residue in the back of your throat. I'm not sure what's happening there."

"I was using regular saline every night for dry sinuses, then my doctor recommended using Ayr gel because it was gentler and lasted longer than saline, but now I have a lingering smell of chemicals that I can’t get rid of. Hope it is not permanent. I recommend regular saline that I used for years. Besides, both work the same, Ayr did not work any better."

"Makes me sneeze every time, and is scented, which is irritating and may even be the cause of the sneezing. Despite that, I persist in its use as its moisturizing gel properties are entirely effective."

"I do not recommend the spray as it can burn. I use the gel instead. I put a small dab right inside my nose and rub it around my nostril. It clears congestion and helps me breathe."
