| 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 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 | 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 | 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 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 |
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.
