| 4 | Allergies/Sinuses | Nose bleeds and dry nasal passages | I've used nasacort since I was a teenager, it's always been effective for my hay fever. In the winter I use it occassionally in combination with Simply Saline. Simply Saline usually keeps my sinuses clear but if I feel allergies act up I give nasacort a day or two to do it's job and i'm go again! I do experience really dry nasal passages in the winter and nose bleeds if I don't use simply saline consistently with it! | 29 | 1X day | 12/2/2014 | 3 | nasal decongestion | Teeth hurt and tenderness in face and gums | 51 | 2 days 2X day | 1/17/2015 | 1 | blocked ears | Severe anxiety and never before panic attacks. I thought I was losing my mind. Cardiologist and ENT didn't make the correlation, and the allergist said it was safe. Primary care doctor put me on ativan and prescription for zoloft (which I thankfully didn't take). I finally figured it out and stopped taking the nasacort 3 weeks ago. No more racing heart and anxiety is much better. This should carry a big warning and doctors should be more aware of these side effects. | Works great on allergies, but definitely not worth it! | 52 | 6 months 1xday | 10/31/2015 | 1 | Allergies | Dizziness, vertigo, stiff neck and nausea. Thought it was something else causing these symptoms but so glad to hear I was not alone with this experience! | 49 | 2 days 15 mg | 10/9/2019 | 5 | Allergies | Upset stomach/nausea, sleep disruption (trouble falling asleep and waking up after 4-5 hours of sleep) | Nasacort works great for its intended purpose, but the side effects outweighed the benefits for me. The nausea and insomnia worsened the longer I took it. | F | 46 | 12 days 110 mcg 1X day | 11/6/2016 | 5 | Virus that left me with ear congest | Worked well at first, but didn't sleep as well. My doctor had me take 2 sprays each nostril twice a day. Really helped with nasal and ear congestion that resulted from a virus. After 3 weeks, started having nausea and stomach irritation. Today I only took 1 spray in each nostril, because I have to wean off gradually. Also, I had tooth pain . | It helped with ear and nasal congestion as a result of a virus. After 3 weeks, I was better , but it had really irritated my stomach. I would recommend trying it, but iam very sensitive to medicines, so I wouldn't be able to use it again. | F | 68 | 30 days 2sprays 2x 2X day | 8/31/2023 | 5 | cedar and mold allergies | none | I've been prescribed flonase, but not only can I not afford it anymore, It never worked for me. Please no one tell me my brain will be fried with cancer. Sweet relief! | F | 32 | 30 days 1X day | 1/27/2015 | 5 | Very bad sinus problem | I gain significantly since taking nasacort nasal spray. Other than that, it works very well.. | F | 37 | 4 months | 10/17/2014 | 5 | Allergic rhinitis, asthma, allergie | Nose bleeds and burning in nostrils. | Don't let it go down the throat because it is a steroid and can cause stomach irritation. Just keep sniffing until all of it goes up the nasal cavity. I'm very sensitive to oral steroids, but the other nose sprays just didn't work. OTC sprays have a bad rebound effect. The menthol gels work well to keep things loose if I'm dried out inside my nose. Nasacort does cause recurring nose bleeds. I only take it 1X instead of 2X per day. I also alternate days whenever possible, instead of daily dosing. I go off it completely when the weather is moist and warm. Nasacort AG helps the mucus to soften and drain like normal people who do not have rhinitis. I use Nasacort, guaifenesin pills and cough syrup, nasal gels when it's truly necessary, and vaporizers in the winter when the weather is cold and dry. Calcium lactate from health food stores is also great because it causes involuntary muscles to relax that often cause constriction and asthma attacks. It has a very sedating effect, so I take it at night. No one drug can do it all with me. Except for mild nose bleeds, I have no other side effects with Nasacort AG. | F | 59 | 10 years 2 sprays 1X day | 1/23/2011 | 5 | Nasal allergies | None | I only stopped because of the various side effects and warnings on leaflet, but I myself did not experience any side effects and thought it worked well from the very first dose. | F | 46 | 30 days | 3/18/2007 | 5 | seasonal allergies | none that were noticeable enough to be bothersome | this has freed me from always taking OTC allergy meds with me, seems to work faster and longer than other Rx meds too | F | 26 | 3 months | 7/30/2002 | 5 | allergies- seasonal, dust, mold | none | I have tons of outdoor and indoor allergies and this product has helped stop headaches and all sorts of negative allergy symptoms since I love being outdoors. I take just one spray daily from spring until fall and then discontinue after the first freeze. I take two sprays if my symptoms are worse and discontinue taking if I'm really sick and get prescribed other medication that works in a similar way or am taking lots of decongestant. If taken correctly- this product works great! | F | 28 | 2 years 55 mcg 1X day | 11/10/2017 | 5 | Nasal allergies/severe congestion | I still irrigate my nose with a saline product and sometimes there will be some blood during irrigation, but nothing serious. | I found this product to be extremely helpful in clearing my congestion. I try to get off it from time to time to give my sinuses a "break." The longest I have used it at one time was about four months. | F | 38 | 4 months | 11/14/2008 | 5 | Nasal congestion | None! | I used Nasacort AQ for nasal congestion and felt relief within the first few hours. I used to use Afrin, and hated the irritation, dry throat, nasty taste, and rebound effect. Nasacort felt clean, fresh, and didn't drip down my throat. I tried other sprays but the alcohol dried out my nose, and I didn't like the way some smelled and tasted. | F | 32 | 8 days | 6/24/2009 | 5 | Nasal Allergies | I had been miserable with coughing and post nasal drip till I could have screamed. Most days I was dragging through my day. I decided to try Nasacort. Wow I can not believe how much better I am. My energy is back and I can breathe! Post nasal drip is 90% better. I feel bad for others who had trouble but I have not thus far. Today instead if laying in bed with fatigue and sinus pressure I went shopping with my cousin. I haven't done that in I can't remember how long. Hope others will have similar experience. :) | F | 37 | 7 days 30 | 3/16/2014 | 5 | seasonal allergies | Definately helped my stuffy nose and seasonal allergies. A bonus for me is that I have suffered with dry eye syndrome for a couple of years. I couldn't afford the Restasis treatment. Surprisingly after starting Nasocort, i noticed my affected eye no longer weeps at night and swells. Very happy. | F | 42 | 1 months 1 x D | 6/24/2014 | 4 | I have cats and hardwood allergies | I haven't really had any noticeable side effects. It has not affected my personality or made me gain weight or any of the crazy side effects I have read here. I already had cataracts so I can't blame Nasacort for them. :) I already had problems with a stiff neck on occasion. I do make sure I never take more than prescribed. 2 squirts a day in each nostril and I do it only 4 days a week, sometimes 5 and I keep my nose moisturized with Alcolol. I'm glad I don't have all of the side effects other people have experienced as I need this real bad. I have 10 cats and I didn't use to be allergic to them. The allergy is mild but enough that I get stuffed up. I'm just thankful it doesn't effect me badly but I will pay close attention to any and all possibilities in the future. | F | 61 | 3 months 50 mcg 1X day | 5/18/2014 | 4 | seasonal allergies and sinus proble | Extremely bad headaches, lived on Motrin, pain in the right eye, mental confusion, felt drunk. | Have discontinued use...Hate the side affects. | F | 54 | 6 weeks | 9/16/2009 | 4 | allergies/swollen nasal passage | After using 4 days, developed moderate sore throat. Have continued use and still have mild sore throat. Have had deviated septum surgery 3 times and still can't breathe through nose without use of this product. | F | 55 | 3 weeks | 11/13/2008 | 4 | allergic rhinitis | None so far | I have used this product 3 times total and for the past 2 days. I have outdoor, indoor and food allergies, especially to milk, cheese etc. Lately I have been experiencing some bad attacks of allergic rhinitus with sinus pain being the predominant symptom which is felt in all 4 of my sinuses. I feel the product helped somewhat but only helped in the nasal area and not deeper in my sinuses. Usually when I have an attack I have to let it go it's course which is 2 to 3 days. From reading these reviews I will definitely be careful not to over use this product. | F | 44 | 2 days | 1/2/2009 |
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.
