For Allergic Rhinitis "I am in love with this product. I used to get shots for my allergies, had my tonsils removed, and suffered for years with terrible snoring and feeling absolutely exhausted with dealing with the day end day out problems. I tried so many medications and nothing worked. Two nights of this and my boyfriend said he came to bed and I was actually breathing through my nose! No snoring, no toss and turn, a peaceful night in bed. Thank you so, so much! It's already changed my life."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Took first dose of Nasacort about 8:30am. At 9am got up out of chair could barely walk. Dizzy, nausea, sick at stomach. Went to bed. After 3 hrs got up felt worse. Went to neighbors where could be around someone. After 5 hrs symptoms began to go away. It has now been 7 hrs 15 mins. Still not back to normal."

For Allergic Rhinitis "My son suffered from allergies for years. I tried allergy shots, Benadryl and every pill in the market. Nothing work. The only pill that helped him was Benadryl but he will get very sleepy. I started using Nasacort and he hasn't had allergies for over 6 months! I am so happy! Great product !"

For Allergic Rhinitis "Highly effective! As any sufferer knows, night time is the most crucial time. I no longer fear waking up in a panic gasping for air as the nasal passages swell shut. (In a deep sleep, I have learned that brain creates nightmares to wake you up!) In addition to night time relief, I am more focused at the office as a software engineer that may sit behind a computer for up to 12 hours a day.I look foward now to both sleep and work."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I have year-round allergies with a runny nose. Started taking Nasacort and instead of stopping my runny nose it's making it worse. At first I thought I had a cold but I had no other symptoms so I'm pretty sure it's the Nasacort"

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 taking 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 allergy shot kick in. Totally recommend."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I developed terrible seasonal allergies when I hit my 40's. I tried oral meds but most of them aggravated my benign heart arrhythmia. My allergies are so bad in the spring I would end up sleeping upright on the couch and STILL wake up gasping for air - airway totally blocked. My husband did some research and found Nasacort. It's really changed my life - I can enjoy Spring again! I love this product."

For Allergic Rhinitis "This has worked great for me. I have seasonal allergies and this twice a day along with a Claritin each morning has changed my life. The only side effect I've had is, when I quit taking it each fall, I experience drying around the nostril area and sore, watery eyes. It goes away after a few weeks."

"Had nasal surgery...symptoms didn't improve in one nostril and nighttime would be awful for me. Extreme blockage. Was told I still have swelling (felt my nasal passages 'popping' sometimes like your ear does so makes sense). Tried Nasacort and actually improved my sleep. Seemed to keep airflow pretty good , have a slight deviation in the back still so not perfect. This allows me to have a good night sleep, during the day I feel comfortable. Using 2 sprays in each nostril may cut to one....but overall pleased because it is decreasing symptoms. Give it 1-2 weeks seemed to really calm nasal swelling down in that time frame."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Well I'll start by saying I was most certainly NOT paid by the company for a positive review as was suggested by another reviewer whom the medicine obviously didn't work for. I bought this at RiteAid. Chose it over Flonase because it was on sale. I was desperate to find anything, that would help my allergies. I live in So Cal and the super bloom we're having from all the rain triggered super allergies in me. I'd been eating benadryl like candy with no relief and had rubbed the top layer of skin off my eyelids. I literally thought I was going to have to sell my house and move because it was so bad. I was having hot flashes and cold sweats. My lungs were itchy. This stuff is a miracle in a bottle. The relief was immediate. Very happy with it"

For Allergic Rhinitis "Nasacort made my nose run like a faucet. It was almost like something in it triggered my allergies instead of helping them. I used it for a week before I realized it was what was causing me problems. Also caused blood to be in my snot. I would try anything else besides this. On a scale from. 1 to 10 I would rate Nasalcrom at 10 and Nasacort at 1."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Suffer horribly with seasonal allergies. This stuff is a Godsend. Much better than Flonase. And doesn't have that horrible Flonase smell of freshly cut grass..which kills my sinuses! Completely NOT a waste of money as previous review stated"

For Allergic Rhinitis "This medication caused me to feel loopy, anxious but tired at the same time, and I gained weight. I couldn't lose weight for anything. I came off of this and lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks. Who knew? I know it's a steroid but I had no idea it was that strong. I'm going to try Claritin D again. Medication did make me breathe easier. I had very itchy eyes however which could've been from the pollen. Sore throat however. I have it a 3 because it makes be breathe like a champ."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I have a constant runny nose, but worse, as soon as I lie down at night my nose becomes stuffed. I'm a stomach sleeper, so my head is always turned to one side. The bottom nostril becomes stuffed, so I switch sides, and so on through the night. I used Nasacort for 2 weeks and it was magical -- until my nose began bleeding and gooping up inside with snotty, bloody clumps. So, I had to give it up (Nasacort even let me sleep at night after the bloody clumps began) because I don't think it's normal to have chunky scabby blood clogs. Still haven't found a fix for my night problem (BreatheRight helps a bit, but the adhesive makes my skin itch)."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Lifelong rhinitis, worse with age (now 71). Tried Flonase, did nothing and unpleasant to use. Bought Nasacort generic would last 2 months @ 1shot/nostril/day. Immediate improvement, no flavor or sting. Already familiar with triamcinolone (active) as a topical (skin). Only downrated to 9 because 1) it's a drug and fewer is better, 2) it doesn't 'blast' nose wide open like Afrin (which causes its own problems), 3) from other reviews we see that results/reactions vary widely. On the plus side: If it works for you, fewest potential side effects; no alcohol or scent; generic/storebrand available-- reasonable cost; OTC designation, 'generally safe and effective for self-administrataion. Lookup and observe contraindications"

For Allergic Rhinitis "I hit google as soon as I first tried this product. Within 10 minutes of taking this product I felt like I was high as a kite, kind of feels like a stimulant, I can see how someone who are younger could have a panic attack if they did not understand what is going on. As for what its supposed to do my nose is clear as a whistle but it is 10 PM and I am freakin wired."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I suffer from post nasal drip with constant coughing. Nothing else helped .Always got side effects I read where this product was good for my systems. Wow what a difference. Took 24 hours to see a difference but boy the difference in coughing spells ,drainage was cut 75%. I have felt this good in years. Even When I don't have post nasal drip."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I have used Nasacort for three years. I have had hayfever most of my life, changing medicines every few years as they become less effective. Nasacort was amazing for the first two years. For the first time in my adult life, living through allergy season with no symptoms, and no side effects, was an absolute wonder. Now, year three, since day one of starting the spray (one each nostril per day) I have been slowly coughing up all of my lungs. I can only hope I have done no damage. Time to move on, and find the next best thing."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Today was my first time trying it and it works! I could tell when I first sprayed it; it seemed to open me up then. I used to use Claritin d (til it stopped working), then Zyrtec, then Flonase but they all seemed to take time to work. Didn’t have that problem today. Plus it was cheaper than the Flonase and I had a coupon on top of that!"

For Allergic Rhinitis "Just tried it for the first time today. Although my nose isn't completely clear there is a huge difference than when I didn't have it. I was using Afrin and Nasacort didn't seem to have that immediate clearance that Afrin provided, but it was good because this meant that the addictive effect of total and immediate clearance was not there..so Nasacort was more gradual and less harsh. I love it!"

For Allergic Rhinitis "This stuff clears up my allergies but I noticed it makes my heart race also. I also experienced nose bleeds and one of the worse headaches of my life. Throbbing headache and nausea, my taste is off too. Sometimes when spraying this stuff it makes my sinuses burn. I try to only take this medication when I’m in absolute need, the side effects are a bit much for me to handle. I just want an allergy medication that doesn’t give me a bunch of bizarre and painful side effects."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I took this last night and this evening to try and help my Rhinitis. After an hour of taking it, I'm pretty wired in more than one way. When I normally have anxiety, I shut down and withdraw, but this medication not only induces anxiety, but it makes me need to do something physical to get energy out. Like run. So I know this isn't me. I also have found out that patients with Afib shouldn't be taking nasal steroids due to them being able to induce an episode. Thankfully, I'm starting to feel it wear off. I took it almost 3 and a half hour ago and am finally starting to feel tired enough for bed, so my body is slowly coming down from it. It works darn well as marketed, I'll give it that, but with Afib, I can't risk it. I honestly don't mind the anxiety or the wiredness, but it's not for me."
