| 3 | please see website on steroid asthma inhalers and nasal sprays:sidefxdrugs.com | | 4/23/2007 | 1 | Allergies | It seems to be working great for my severe spring allergies, but I started having nightmares. I have also started feeling jumpy, paranoid and uneasy with an irrational sense of doom, and gloom. (Which is completely out of character for me!) I am going to have to discontinue use. | 48 | 4 days | 5/9/2020 | 5 | Seasonal allergies | Mild nose bleeds | This med helps me so much. Antihistamines either didn't work and made me so sleepy and dizzy. I could not function or other brands of antihistamines work for the allergy symptoms but gave me unbearable insomnia. Budesonide took away 96% of my very very bad hay fever symptoms within 3 days if use . I could not function without this drug. No side effects ex for for a mild daily nose bleed, which is 100 times better than hay fever so bad I cannot function. | F | 50 | 60 days | 6/23/2021 | 5 | Common Cold | None, I feel strongly that some of the side effects experienced in some of these postings were occuring before the medicine was being taken. If you're taking the medication for your sinusitis or other similar reason, flu-like symptoms often occur anyway including muscle aches to having a virus or infection. Also panic attacks from a nasal steroid? Little skeptical. | I don't think any nasal steroid should be used on a daily continuing bases either. I would talk with your Doctor if you feel you need them that often. | F | 29 | 1 weeks | 9/10/2007 | 5 | allergies | F | 45 | 3 years | 10/26/2008 | 5 | Chronic sinus headaches | None at all | This medication ended a six-month-long sinus headache. I LITERALLY had a throbbing headache for six months, and a week after I started this stuff, it was gone. I have a twinge in my head about once every few weeks, but other than that I've been very pleased. | F | 30 | 8 months | 11/1/2004 | 5 | nasal allergies & sinus infection | none | Helped a lot! After taking the first day, I slept better that night than I had in months! | F | 46 | 14 days | 6/30/2004 | 5 | asthma, allergies | none | only nasal spray that works to keep down the inflammation due to my allergies. This medication is the only one I can take. Nasacort makes me sneeze and sneeze and sneeze. The others don't seem to work well. This is the one for me! | F | 53 | 2 years 1X day | 5/12/2010 | 5 | Nasal blockage/alergies | I havent noticed any side effects myself | I have had problems with a blocked nose especially at night and loss of taste. I had surgery after visiting an ENT specialist a few years ago but the problem started to reoccur. After going back to the doctor again she reccommended Rhinocort and it has really helped, my snoring has even stopped. My doctor warned me to make sure the spray is taken properly and taken deep in to sinuses not to back of throat as you will just swallow the steroid, I think that is what a lot of people might be having a problem with here ie jittery effects, nervousness. I personally am very happy! | F | 29 | 20 days 2X day | 11/6/2011 | 5 | nasal allergies | none | im allergic to cigarette smoke (sounds weird) my nose gets all stuffy so anytime i experience this...with 1-2 sprays it's been pretty magical! | F | 24 | 1 years | 5/28/2007 | 5 | dust mite allergies | I started Rhinocort about 8 - 9 years ago and take it daily. It was a miracle with absolutely no adverse side effects. | I tried Flonase, but got a bloody nose; I tried Nasocort and Nasonex but one of these gave me a sore throat (managable but worrisome) and the other was not effective for me. One thing I have learned with other medications is that if you have any horomone deficiencies or imbalances, that could explain weird or atypical or rare side-effects. My hypothyroidism and other hormone issues are the reason I reacted (and still react) so horrifically to so many medicines. Just a thought. I love Rhinocort. Except for the minor inconvenience of having to use it twice a day, I generally forget that I even have allergies! It was a God send!!! Anything weird with your health in conjunction with low energy, weight gain, hair thinning...suspect hypothyroidism!!! It could explain strange reactions to various medications. | F | 52 | 8 years | 12/26/2007 | 5 | allergies | none | This is the only thing that has ever worked for me other than Benadryl (which makes me too tired to use it daily). | F | 2 years | 11/23/2008 | 5 | allergies to pet dogs | no negative side effects | i lived with severe allergy attacks to pet dogs for several years. went on rhinocort and cured! have been taking it for @8-9 years. if i forget to take it for a couple of days sneezing, running stuffy nose start. | F | 37 | 8 years | 3/7/2009 | 5 | allergies | I can breathe! | I have tried many things over the years, to some extent helpful, or not. After sinus surgery, my ENT said he would not continue to treat me unless I continued to take the meds, and this one has worked, along with the pulmicort for lungs. | F | 53 | 10 years | 6/12/2008 | 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 | 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 | 4 | Allergies | Rapid heart rate, insomnia | F | 50 | 1 days | 7/16/2016 | 4 | Chronic Allergy & Sinus Infections | Hole in/Perforated Septum | The drug worked great for what it was prescribed. Unfortunately the side effect from long term chronic use (never abused) forced me to stop using it a few years ago. I suffered from the feeling of constant sinus 'congestion' from inflammation for quite some time (many months-almost a year) after stopping use. | F | 36 | 12 years 1X day | 1/4/2016 | 4 | 3 month sinus infection | Headaches and rapid heart beat and insomnia if taken late. I am a bit foggy at times but I also put part of that as going through menopause. | It worked wonders even though the side effects were bad, it was better being able to breath. I'm beginning to stop using the OTC nasal sprays now after about 20 years of using them and will slowly decrease using Rhinocort. I am satisfied as I was suffering way worse before taking it. Just make sure you drink lots of water daily and only spray once in each nostril as soon as they are open to breath in. | F | 43 | 5 days 1 2X day | 2/23/2016 | 4 | hay fever | vaginal itch/severe thrush | rhinocort work ++well with hay fever, was previously unable to sleep, could not stop sneezing, runny nose very miserable, always about a week into treatment got thrush. I only use it in the spring/hayfever season | F | 37 | 2 years | 11/11/2008 |
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)
