| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASACORT | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 5 | sneezing / stuffy and runny nose / | nose bleeds easily. If you discontinue abrubtly, symptoms seems worse. | nasacort works fast and gently to stop all my allergies. It seeemed to work better and didn't feel the side effects of flonase. Like they suggest, if you will stop it after at least 2 weeks, you should do so gradually. | M | 4 days | 4/25/2004 | 5 | Rhinitis and stuffiness | None | It has been a miracle drug for me. No side effects and significant curtailment of running, dripping nose (about 90% effective when used with Benedryl and Claritin); also, significant improvement in stuffiness at night. | M | 73 | 10 years | 4/16/2009 | 5 | Sinus Congestion | Overall, I feel like this product does what it is designed to do. My congestion is 90% better, and I feel much better. I did have a nosebleed on day 7, but I'm not entirely sure it's due to the Nasacort, as I've had semi-frequent nosebleeds since I was a child. It does take a couple days of use to get the full effect of the medication. I'm satisfied with it. | M | 24 | 7 days 55 mcg | 5/24/2014 | 5 | 2 weeks ago | I used nasacort to transition off of Afrin. Used them together for about a week, then dropped the Afrin with no rebound congestion. If I've experienced any sides, I haven't noticed because I am blown away that it took away Afrin rebound and I am no longer a slave to that poison | M | 29 | 1 days 4 squirts | 7/24/2014 | 5 | Allergies/Sinuses | None | Thank God for your product. I almost forgot what it was to feel normal.. | M | 62 | 1 pump 1X day | 3/22/2015 | 5 | seasonal airborne, pollen, grass, | Woeful bliss, being normal, mocking Kleenex box, not fearing outside nor summer, I did not read list of side effects to avoid adverse psychosomatic reactions. Have had seasonal allergies 40 years of hell, I luv nasal steroids. | Had perpetual nasal polyps,GONE, and they didn't return after stopping drug for winter. Used all summer and no sneezing, helped with itchy eyes. Did not help itchy roof of mouth. Flonase worked slightly better on congestion previous summer, but required script, had to change drs thanx to prevaricating nobama.(lying) | M | 49 | 5 months 1spray/day | 3/25/2015 | 5 | Nasal congestion, itchy sore throat | Slightly dry throat... Blood shot eyes | This works wonders. I don't use anything long term, and ALWAYS use LESS than suggested, so I have nothing but good to say about NASACORT. Side effects were minimal, and the relief was mind blowing. I have tried EVERY otc allergy med, and this is the only one that has ever worked. Thank God! I have since reccommended this to my mother, and she now has relief of her allergies for the first time in almost 15 years! | M | 24 | 5 days 1 spray | 3/19/2015 | 5 | Allergies | i didn't notice any side effects. little bit of blood sometimes when I blow my nose. | In worst conditions I will use it with Claritin dissolvable and fantastic results. But otherwise it works super fast and breaks up/ relives more sinus inflammation than anything I've ever used. It's literally like opening the flood gates! It even gives my sinus's a chance to repel that deep down infective material that causes headaches and pains. Taken in several days in row you'll feel more relief than with anything else. Check with your doctor if your taken any birth control or any kind of steroids. | M | 43 | 3 days 55mcg | 4/26/2015 | 5 | seasonal allergies | abdominal cramping & diarrhea | I have had terrible seasonal allergies since I was a child. Taking over the counter medicines all these years offered a small amount of relief. Nasacort WORKS! Wish I'd had it available years ago. | M | 54 | 1 weeks once daily | 2/4/2016 | 5 | Allergy congestion | Horrible anxiety and it didn’t effectively clear my sinuses. Had a panic attack on this stuff. Never again. | M | 40 | 2 days 2 pumps | 4/4/2020 | 4 | To open my sinuses. | I occasionally experience diziness and then I cut back on the dosage. | I've tried Nasonex, Flonase, and Nasacort. All three are very similar and of course Nasacort has the best pricing. If I don't take a cortisteroid I develop sinus headaches so I try to manage them with this type of drug. Overall it has been a good solution but your body might not agree. Good luck! | M | 53 | 150 days 1X day | 12/15/2015 | 4 | Springtime allegeries | The last few years I have taken this drug or its generic in the morning and I have developed very dry eyes starting in early evening each day. This results in excess blinking. | M | 57 | 14 days 2 sprays 1X day | 5/11/2016 | 4 | Severe allergies, violent sneezing | Pressure and ringing in the ears, unexplained rashes, very bad insomnia, some stomach problems. | My side effects became very noticeable after long term use. I didn't even connect them until I read the comments here. Did not experience the more common "labeled side effects" like nose bleeds. It's about the only product that worked really well to control all the violent sneezing. Now I'll have to figure out something else. I plan to reduce dosage pretty quickly and then stop. Everybody seems to react a little differently. Only intermittent use seems like the way to go, if needed. | M | 55 | 3 years 55 mcg x2 1X day | 1/6/2017 | 4 | Unbearable hay fever | Immune system suppression | I have used Nasacort off and on for years, first as prescription and recently as OTC. It is the only medication that truly relieves my unbearable hay fever. Not even allergy shots with antihistamines worked as well. But for me, it has a very serious side effect of suppressing my entire immune system. - I come down with more viruses (colds). Sores such as from biting my tongue and dermal cuts take a long time to heal. I also will get candida infections (thrush) if I stay on this medication too long. I find I can cut back the dosage to a spray once every few days to once per week once the worst of my hay fever subsides. I like Loratadine (Claritin) as a constant med. Initially, Nasacort works within 24-48 hours and is a god-send. | M | 51 | 2 sprays 1X day | 9/24/2014 | 4 | Postnasal drip | Some nose bleeds. | I had postnasal drip for months. After using NASACORT the postnasal drip ceased. | M | 31 | 3 weeks | 12/14/2009 | 4 | Seasonal allergies | It cleared my sinuses pretty quickly but pretty much immediately after I took it I was insanely drowsy and fell asleep for another 4 hours | M | 16 | 7 days 110 mcg | 6/21/2014 | 4 | Seasonal allergies | More prone to VERY slight nosebleeds; mild stimulant effects in the first week of treatment which made it more difficult to sleep. | Compared to the horrible side effects of Flonase, Nasacort really seems like a good choice. It works wonders on allergy symptoms with very minimal side effects. After the first week, I cut my dose in half and still had no allergies. | M | 34 | 3 weeks | 3/23/2006 | 3 | blocked nose and sinusite | non stop cought,with yellow secretions and little blood in it. sore throat | ive been taking this medecine for 3 days now 2 vaporisation each nostrine 2 times a day and yeah the sinusite has gone but now i had extreme fever,headaches for 1 days then 2 days of non stop cought and yellow secretions with sometime blood in it. ill try to stop it instantly cause i fear taking one more dose. | M | 29 | 3 days | 3/29/2009 | 3 | allergies | Anxiety | Not certain it was Nasacort because taking Allegra also; but after reading comments, I feel more certain it is the Nasacort. Anxiety usually starts early in the morning, about an hour after inhalation and seems to wear off during the evening. I take another inhalation at night and go to bed shortly afterwards. I feel a little anxious in the morning, but more so about an hour after inhaling. | M | 48 | 2 months | 8/28/2007 | 3 | Seasonal and year round Allergies | Worked Fantastic like no other, But then the side effects kicked in hard in the 3rd week. SEVERE joint pain( to the point of thinking I had arthritis or bone cancer) , overall flu feeling, rashes and general skin itiching, exaustion, Body aches, My index and middle finger are numb from the tips to the middle nuckle on my left hand. Such a bummer because it's the only thing in 30 years that I've found that really works. Back to zyrtec. I hope the nasacort withdrawal symptoms aren't worse than the side effects. | M | 45 | 21 days 55 mcg 1X day | 5/16/2015 |
NASACORT (TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE): This medication is used in a variety of conditions such as allergic disorders, arthritis, blood diseases, breathing problems, certain cancers, eye diseases, intestinal disorders, collagen and skin diseases. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of triamcinolone, especially if it is to be injected near your spine (epidural). Rare but serious side effects may occur with epidural use. Triamcinolone acetonide is known as a corticosteroid hormone (glucocorticoid). It works by decreasing your body's immune response to these diseases and reduces symptoms such as swelling.
