 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

 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

Patient History
 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

 2  Nasal Allergies, sneezing attacks 24 hours later achey and swollen knees. Seems to exacerbate aches and pains. Can't tell if it contributed to a longer headache or not. Not willing to try again because the achey knees were almost instant. Was told by my daughter that her doctor recommended it over Flonase and that it is less likely to cause side effects. I have to disagree. F 57 1 days

 1  Allergies and Sinus Issues Took in the morning and by bedtime felt bad. My eyes hurt and my nose was runny. Next morning started coughing and felt as if I was taking a cold. Felt worse than before taking. After reading side effects I have decided not to take the risk. I wish I could find something that could give me better relief. I do find relief with Advil Cold & Sinus or Mucinex Sinus Max but try not to take too often because of the pain relieve medicine in it. My eyes are my biggest issue (they hurt and bother me constantly). F 43 1 days

 1  Hay fever i haven't had a migraine for almost 15 years, but within about an hour of taking this drug was completely incapacitated. Also had panic attacks for no reason. I'm throwing this away. I would much rather deal with sneezing. Destroyed my day. F 45 1 days

 1  Ear stopped up from cold Fatigue, migraine after one use Physician prescribed otc Nasacort for help with my stopped up ear/vertigo I acquired from a cold virus. A few hours after using had a weird fatigue come over me and the next day woke up with a migraine. I'm prone to headaches but through holistic help have greatly minimized them. Holistic practitioner said it was highly probable the Nasacort brought on the headache. I read up on side effects and yep, headaches can be a big issue for some using this product! I'm returning this horrible stuff to the store. F 47 1 days

 1  multiple sinus infections Within minutes I had a headache. Later that night I woke in the night with a very sick stomache. I ended up throwing up and having diarhea for the night and most of the next day. It is so much more miserable to be sick with flu like symptoms than to have a headache. Very miserable!!!!
