| 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 | Allergic Rhinitis | None noted. | 2 sprays into each nostril helps open nasal passages. No significant side effects for me, unlike a competing nasal steroid. This is an older steroid chemical that doesn't contain halogen atoms like Chlorine or Fluorine and seems better tolerated than the newer steroids that contain those. Just so you know, in biology and toxicology, life on earth has an easier and safer time breaking down non-halogenated chemical compounds (through a series of reactions creating intermediary products called metabolites), so they tend to be safer. Notice how Chlordane and Pentachlorophenol are banned by the EPA because the microbiome of the earth cannot even decompose them. Life on earth shares a common evolutionary thread. | M | 40 | 6 months 2 sprays 1X day | 2/18/2020 | 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 | 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 | Seasonal Allergies | Rhinocort is the best steroidal nasal spray. It has a lower volume of mist than others (Flonase,Nasonex, Nasacort) and is water based. It works well for me even using it QOD. | I can use it every other day, or every second day and it is very effective. Give Rhinocort a try. It's better than the others. (low volume of mist, gentler) | M | 23 | 90 days 32mcg 1X day | 5/29/2013 | 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 | None. | This is the only allergy medicine that works for me. I've been diagnosed with allergies for 15 years, and nothing else works on my allergies. I think all of these other comments only illustrate the point that you should search for an allergy med that works for you with the least amount of side-effects. | M | 35 | 4 months 1-2 sprays 1X day | 12/1/2011 | 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 | congestion allergies infections | possible slight headache , forhead area | 3 years of constant infection and congestion , ear infection after ear infection , within 4 days I felt better than I can remember and I mean all of me .. last night I slept right through without waking completely blocked up .. I see the doctor who pescribed this tomorrow , he was not my normal GP , I am looking forward to thanking him and getting a repeat... | M | 52 | 7 days 2X day | 4/20/2011 | 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 | Rhinocort Acqua | best stuff one can use | This stuff is absolutely amazing. Absolutely no side effects and it is discouraging that the crap posted on here may turn people away from using this drug. | M | 32 | 1 years 16 2X day | 3/2/2010 | 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 | 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 | F | 45 | 3 years | 10/26/2008 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | Chronic Rhinitis | None | Excellent results for me. I can breath through my nose, which allows me to enjoy food, sleep better at night breathing through my nose and not my mouth (it has reduced my snoring). My allergic nasal symptoms are gone. | M | 41 | 7 years | 4/1/2007 | 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 |
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)
