For Allergic Rhinitis "I have awful airborne allergies. I used Nasacort and had great relief, although I have always said I wouldn't use steroids. It was all good until I started feeling very anxious, panic attacks, heart palpitations, pain in my sides over my kidneys, feeling generally sick, felt like my blood pressure was really high, and my hair fell out! I'm not kidding you! Hair loss is a side effect of triamcinolone, and half of my hair fell out! After trips to 4 different doctors (cardiologist, endocrinologist, dermatologist, and primary care doctor) who found nothing in the tons of labs they drew, it was the triamcinolone in Nasacort! It took almost 2 years for my hair to grow back. I ended up hospitalized in atrial fibrillation for 2 days also at that time because of it. I had never had it before and have never had it again. I am a registered nurse of 33 years. If you use this medicine daily for any extended period of time, you will probably have severe withdrawal symptoms like I did."

For Allergic Rhinitis "My experience was awful. I paid around $40 for this, and it made me nauseous, made my heart pound, and made me feel anxious...all after only one use. Then later there was a crash, and I felt exhausted. It helped slightly with my allergies, but not too much, and NOT worth it."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I am very sensitive to all medications, so I was so happy to try Nasacort. It worked really well for my allergies, but after two weeks of using it, the side effects were awful. Right off the bat, my right eyelid was twitching nonstop. I put up with it since I could finally breathe, but then the heart palpitations started. It got so bad one night that I thought I was having a heart attack and almost passed out while I was driving. As soon as I stopped using Nasacort, the symptoms went away. It also caused anxiety for me. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Hoping there is no permanent damage to my heart!!"

For Allergic Rhinitis "I’ve had allergies for the last two years, and my symptom is chronic congestion. I had my allergies tested, and I am allergic to just about everything environmental. Decided to do the shots, but in the meantime, I’ve been using Nasacort. I am a super-naturalist and dislike taking meds, but this medication has been a lifesaver as I can’t sleep with a congested nose. Give it at least a week to work! It’s magic. I have not experienced adverse reactions other than possible heart palpitations, maybe. I’ll use it at least for another year while the allergy shots kick in. Totally recommend."
