| 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 | 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 | 4 | pollen allergies year-round | No side effects. This drug works. I used to get shots, but they're not available where I live. Panic attacks? Sounds pretty wild. | F | 69 | 15 years 30 1X day | 5/25/2017 | 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 | Night-time nasal congestion | Sudden and intense tooth/nerve pain. Have just suddenly developed toothpain, which I hought it was just due to worn enamel. The pain has generally across my front teeth, which I thought odd. Then, day before yesterday, the pain was only on and above the left, front, top couple of teeth. Yesterday, my teeth had not been hurting all day, but immediately developed severe tooth pain on and above the right front teeth, immediately after using Nasacort last night! FYI-I am at the very last sprays in the bottle, so it may be too concentrated...don't know. | Nasacort has worked very well in relieving my nasal congestion, and I hate that I may have to stop using it, due to tooth pain. | F | 56 | 31 days 1X day | 9/13/2016 | 4 | Allergies | I noticed that I was hungry more than usual,some weight gain.Also hair was shedding more than usual.And also arms and legs were itchy and burning. I am a RN and checked every other med I take and finally stopped using nazacort and all these symptoms went away. All I can say the steroids got in my system and caused these problems.I feel bad because nazacort worked as far as my allergies go,but can't deal with the side affects | F | 69 | 6 months 30 mg | 6/5/2016 | 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 | 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 | Nasal congestion | I feel slightly hyper and it's a little hard to concentrate on my work. I also feel slightly, slightly anxious and irritable. | I wanted something to open my sinus passages. The sinus membranes were swollen making it difficult to breathe, but I had no drainage. This happens to me often due to allergies. The first day I sprayed one dose in each nostril. My sinuses cleared up fairly quickly, but I started to experience a hyperactive feeling. The next morning I decided to spray one dose in one nostril so I could have some of the benefits without suffering from insomnia, since I had read that some people have insomnia with this medicine. This morning I sprayed one dose in the other nostril. My nasal passages are fairly clear, but I feel hyper and I hope I'll be able to sleep tonight. I think I'm going to wait a few days before using any more nasacort. If my sinuses get blocked again, I think I'll follow the same process I just outlined. | F | 49 | 3 days 1X day | 9/17/2015 | 4 | Allergies | After about a month, I began experiencing minor stomach discomfort and indigestion. I also was putting on weight. Within the last month, I have had several itchy rashes occur on different parts of my body (mainly neck and chest). 2 days ago I cut back the dose to 1 pump in just 1 nostril. The rash that had been driving me crazy for a few days seems to be going away. | This product worked wonders for my allergies, but the reactions I've had are not really worth the relief. I hope a 1/2 dose will help to reduce my allergy symptoms during the spring, while alleviating the side effects. After that, I plan to stop taking the drug. | F | 59 | 10 weeks 1per nost. 1X day | 4/8/2015 | 4 | severe seasonal allergies | Headache, sore back/ribs, my teeth hurt (weird). | I will take the side effects. I cannot work with my allergies because I will drip snot into people's food... otc antihistamines dont work for me. I find this to be cheaper and easier than getting prescription steroids a couple times a year. | F | 28 | 4 days | 12/15/2014 | 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 | 4 | Severe sinus infection for 3 months | Anxiety, body aches, headache,flushing jitters, nause & dizziness . | I'm feeling much better. No sinus pressure. Will use again only when needed due to issues w side effects. | F | 37 | 2 days 50 MCG | 11/12/2014 | 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 | Severe indoor and outdoor allergies | I have tried many allergy medications with no success. I saw a commercial for nasacort and decided to give it a try and it works wonders. I do have a dry nose and occasional sores, but that is worth it to finally have some allergy relief. I realize that a lot of the posts on here talk about the terrible side effects, but keep in mind that people usually only post things when they have a complaint, there are many more satisfied customers than unsatisfied ones. Nasacort really works and is worth a try if your allergies are as bad as mine. | F | 21 | 3 months 1x | 7/28/2014 | 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 | allergies & sinus infection | Nasacort worked. But excruciating headaches. Sinus inflammation improved and will stop using. | F | 62 | 6 days 2x then 1x 1X day | 6/7/2014 | 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 | Nose bleeds | Seems to work well to keep my nose and sinuses clear. Will cut back to every other day to help prevent nose bleeds. | F | 56 | 45 days 55mcg 1X day | 4/28/2014 | 4 | Allergies | None that are significant. | Is very helpful with the itching of my throat and roof of my mouth | F | 34 | 10 2X day | 10/15/2010 |
