| 1 | Allergic rhinitis - dripping nose | Constantly dripping nose, nose bleeds. Have stopped using it for 5 days but still have nose bleeds, which I didn't have before. | The product doesn't work at all and causes other problems. Personally I feel it should be taken off the market and that I am entitled to a refund. Unfortunately I purchased a double pack as that was the only one available on the shelf. | F | 77 | 21 days 64mg 1X day | 8/19/2020 | 4 | Vasomotor rhinitis | Poor sleeping, heat intolerance, rapid pulse -thyroid function fine. | The applicator gives only 2/3 of the stated doses. This happens regularly with both the 120 and 240 dose vials. Most recent 240 dose vial gave 152 sprays before atomization ceased - the 120 dose vials used to give 70 doses maximum. People experiencing similar problems should file a formal report to the FDA in the USA or the Therapeutic Gooods Administration in Australia. AstraZeneca have been getting away with this for years. The product works well but the dosage must be very suspect. | M | 68 | 6 years | 5/16/2005 | 3 | stuffed up left nose and left ear | Headache, excess stomach acidity. | RhinoCort cleared up my nasal stuffiness. After using it a few days, I started getting stomach upset due to excess acidity, which I normally can control with Zantac. The last 3 days, the excess acidity has not responded to Zantac. I also have a vague headache, which is unusual for me. Will stop using RhinoCort and see if these symptoms go away. The stuffiness in my left ear did not go away with use of RhinoCort for 9 days. | F | 68 | 9 days | 8/3/2008 | 3 | rhinitis air bourne allergies | This worked at first very well. I was told to use it with Bactroban, a cream antibiotic to smear in both nasal passages. But I still developed the bleeding sores and bloody boogies. Finally, worried about a hole in my septum, I stopped taking it on one nostril for a week and then stopped using it in the second nostril. I am all stuffed up again, feeling spacey, headachey, unwell. | Rhinocort worked to lessen the effects of Rhinitis and stuffiness. It never stopped the nasal dripping - getting off ALL types of dairy produce stopped the dripping. The problem with the bleeding must be taken seriously, however - | F | 67 | 9 years 64 1X day | 3/4/2014 | 5 | Nasal allergies | Slight blood when blowing nose. Subsides when saline spray is used. Mostly in winter. | I was taking Benadryl to sleep at nite and behind the counter Sudafed during the day. Rhinocort got me off all that. I have been a new person since. 16 years is a long time to use something. Lately when I get post nasal drip I sometimes get a hard tiny chunk of something I have to dispose of. Will consider going off of it and try Claritin or something. | F | 65 | 16 years I x day | 10/22/2019 | 3 | Sinusitis | NIGHTMARES every night. | F | 64 | 1 days 32mcg | 2/14/2016 | 5 | Severe sinus headaches | I have a question for anyone -- has anyone experienced breathing problems in very cold weather? For 3 days in a row now, after walking in 20 deg F weather, I have become very dizzy and have taken 2 to 3 hours to recover. I am also experiencing some very mild chest pains. | My sinus problems have cleared up after 30 days use. | M | 62 | 35 days | 12/5/2006 | 4 | nasal pollups | insomnia and occasional nose bleeding. | This is not one of the stated side effects but spraying the nose at night is not a good idea for me. I will go to a.m. | M | 61 | 4 years | 9/27/2006 | 1 | allergies and sinusitis | No positive results. | Save your money. | M | 60 | 2 years | 3/11/2008 | 3 | Post nasal drip and resulting cough | Worked well on post nasal drip and cough after about three days. After a week, got bad rhinitis. Medicine did no good for rhinitis--perhaps made things worse by irritating nose lining. Still bad rhinitis after more than a week off the medication | Even with the rhinitis, the symptoms of post nasal drip and resulting cough have not reappeared. I can sleep better, but feel worse during the day--probably not worth the trade off. | M | 59 | 14 days | 11/26/2007 | 2 | Allergy | For many years this drug completely eliminated my allergies and sinus troubles. It even seemed to help prevent colds. I did occasionally get nosebleeds and dry nasal passages but nothing serious. Out of the blue I developed a severe reaction to the drug, with extreme heart pounding and very fast racing heart. It felt as my heart had completely gone out of control. Very scary. I bought a new batch thinking that somehow the batch was not good, All in all I tried 3 times with 3 different refills but the reaction remained the same. this was some years ago, i now use an electronic light device to block allergies. I would use great caution in using this medicine. It's unclear to me if the formula was changed. | F | 59 | 5 years 2X day | 12/2/2012 | 1 | allergies | Rash in mouth,swollen gums and lips. | M | 59 | 3 days 32 mcg | 6/15/2016 | 1 | sinus | initial brief use relieved symtoms - futher use seemed to have counter effect and ended up with bleeding and blood closts | Initial use -GP prescribed- first one/two uses cleared, further use briefly cleared and then seemed to worsen - stopped. 2nd time - allergist - tried several times when sinus bad - same effect but this time ended up with bleeding and blood clots -which stopped when stopped Rhinocort. OK if only used 2 -3 times - then rebound effect and bleeding. For sinus best thing is Sinus Wash - no side effects. | F | 58 | 3 days | 9/20/2009 | 5 | nasal blocjage | slight nasal bleeding in winter | Miracle drug. My nose used to get blocked solid, but still runny. Drove me crazy! This helped greatly with minimal side effects, that I notice anyway. It has no odor, unlike some others which I find repulsive. | M | 56 | 8 years 64 1X day | 3/15/2013 | 5 | allergies | Raw sore throat and roof of mouth. My throat feels on fire. | It may work for some but, unfortunately not me. | F | 56 | 9 days 1X day | 4/26/2017 | 2 | post nasal drip and cough | increase in blood pressure, premature heartbeats | after just 3 - 4 days of using nasal spray I ended up in the emergency room with premature heartbeats. They lasted 2 weeks. | F | 56 | 3 days | 5/7/2007 | 1 | rhinitis | blood pressure went from 120/70 to 145/90 within 5 days of taking it, difficulty sleeping, anxiety, but no relief from popping ears/tinnitus | M | 55 | 8 days | 4/13/2006 | 3 | sinus | Dry eyes, hazy vision and blurring, upon withdrawing from Rhinocort after 6 months use. | F | 54 | 6 months | 1/11/2006 | 1 | swollen nasal passages | After using Rhinocort for six days I started experiencing cloudy or hazy vision and roaring noise in one ear. Problem is still there after discontinuing use for six days. Feel lots of pressure in sinus area. | F | 54 | 6 days | 8/31/2004 | 1 | Allergies | This medication did clear up my runny nose, but the symptoms were horrible! Constant achy bones, tired all the time, headache off and on, not clear headed, flu like symptoms, not sleeping well, terrible taste in mouth | When I stopped taking the medicine, I got tingly feeling all over (like pins and needles), nauseous | F | 54 | 3 months | 9/30/2007 |
RHINOCORT (BUDESONIDE): This medication is used to treat certain bowel conditions (such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis). While budesonide does not cure these conditions, it may decrease symptoms such as pain and diarrhea. Budesonide is an anti-inflammatory drug (corticosteroid hormone). It works by decreasing the body's natural defense response (immune response). FDA Approval Date: 1994-02-14 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
