| 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 | 2 | allergic rhinitis | Rash on lips and fingers, swollen face, excessively runny nose. | I tried this drug twice- quit using it the first time after about a month. The only real side effect that time was the rash, and I didn't put it together with the Rhinocort. The second time, I was able to use it for about a week before I got the rash, swollen face, and my nose started to run like crazy. | F | 33 | 10 days 2X day | 4/2/2010 | 3 | Sinusitis | Headaches, insomnia, mild chest pains,blurry and unsteady vision, difficuly focusing, sensitivity to light, joint and muscle pain, acid reflux | I have used this medication in the past with no significant issues. i was off of it for about a years and started up again due to the high pollen counts in my area. I do not know why the issues started this time, however after 5 days without the medication I am starting to slowly get some relief. | M | 48 | 7 days 1 XD 1X day | 4/27/2010 | 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 | 3 | Allergies. Runny nose all seasons. | I have lost my sense of smelling and sleep. But I can't leave without this. | F | 43 | 15 years 1X day | 5/15/2010 | 1 | Constant blocked nose | This stuff seemed to be working well for me but then I started waking up in the middle of the night with the sensation that I'd stopped breathing. I thought I had sleep apnoea. During the day I felt like my throat was constricted and there was a tightness in my lungs stopping be from breathing properly. I started having very weird dreams as well, and even panic attacks as described by others (maybe just due to the fact I couldn't breathe properly!) It was a little while before I made a connection between these symptoms and rhinocort, but when I found this website I stopped taking it immediately, and now all those symptoms have disappeared! Unfortunately my blocked nose has come back! Anyway, it might work for some but not for me. | M | 34 | 6 months 4 sprays 1X day | 5/21/2010 | 3 | nasal congestion/runny nose/sneezin | It did clear up the congestion I haven't been able to manage for months with anything else but over-the-counter decongestant nose spray. I have been feeling very dizzy, light-headed and unfocused, quick visual movements make me nauseous, my eyes feel very dry. I have slept 10 hours during the last few nights, but wake up feeling completely unrested. Also feeling slightly depressed. I usually have none of the above issues and feel very healthy (minus the nose bother of course...), and symptoms have only appeared after use of Rhinocort. | Will try and lower usage to every other day or less to see if side effects subside. If they don't, will still consider taking it every once in a while to break the congestion / inflammation circle. | F | 29 | 10 days 1X day | 1/9/2011 | 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 | 3 | sinitus | Twitching nerves, severe itching, hot ears, some tingling in fingers first few days. | I was given a nasal spray to help my sinitus which was causing bad headaches and a badly blocked nasal tube. It made me itch really badly, even after i stopped taking it - i would itch everyday. So she gave me anti-histemines to stop the itching and also gave me rhinocort and said i wouldn't itch from it. It makes me itch a hell of a lot. It drives me insane - there's nothing worse than itching. So i take doses of rhinocort and an allergy pill at the same time so i don't itch. My ears get hot, nerves in my fingers and face twitch for ages. The only reason i gave it a rating of 3 was because i no longer get the horrible headaches and thick mucus up the left nasal passage. It's all a bit of a nightmare, though. I hate spraying chemicals up my nose. And it looks like i'll be doing it for the rest of my life. ): | F | 18 | 2X day | 5/28/2011 | 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 | 1 | congestion | nose bleeds, perforated septum | Would not recommend | F | 49 | 18 months 1X day | 11/8/2011 | 3 | Hayfever (actually year-round cold) | Bloody nose | Had an effect, but also bad side effects. I'm that 10% apparently. Not worth it since I don't like to have sores in my nose and blood all over. I've been told about others with same issue who destroyed their noses and got permanent problems with sores, so I stopped. | M | 28 | 1 months 32 microgr 1X day | 11/11/2011 | 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 | 1 | allergies | My 17 year old daughter starting taking this, and at first it was working great. Then one day she woke up saying she could not breathe, that it felt like her throat was closing up. Then she had a panic attack also. I have been racking my brain trying to figure out what has been wrong with her. Now that I found this site I have taken her off of it immediatly, so I am very thankful for the people that have spoke up and told their story, cuz as a parent i was getting very worried and didnt know what to do. So thank you to all of you out there!!!! | F | 17 | 7 days 30mg 1X day | 7/8/2012 | 1 | Hayfever | I started to get nose bleeds but ignored it I had taken the spray so long I never suspected it could be that. I started to get sores and I now have a hole in my septum it causes me issues with breathing and the doctors don't seem to care | F | 27 | 3 years | 7/25/2012 | 1 | Sons allergies | My son 9 at the time took it for allergies. He started having headaches, dizziness, panic attacks and slight depression. Before taking the medication he was a happy, normal child. I took him to his doctor, the hospital and got an MRI before finding research about these possible side effects on children. A week after he stopped taking it all symptoms cleared up. | Be aware of the side effects this can cause children. I mentioned all his headaches to his doctor and nobody felt it was caused by rhinocort, so I did my own research and took him off the medicatiin and he cleared up. It is very scary to have your child go through all this and you feel helpless...so just be aware of possible side effects. | F | 42 | 60 days 1X day | 8/9/2012 | 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 | Sinus allergies | Horrible! My daughter had used Nasonex with terrible effects like night terrors, agressiveness, nausea, joint pain... So after a year with recurrent sinus infections her doctor insisted on trying Rhinicort. She said its a lower dose so I gave it a try. After just one use, my poor baby was extremely pale, nauseous, vomiting. Complaining about the same leg pain that the Nasonex gave her and also flu like symptoms. You can't feel like that in just a few hours just by a virus... Stopped the spray and will never use any steroid spray again. The doctors never believe me when I insist the spray has this serious effects. Very frustrating. | F | 6 | 1 days | 12/6/2012 | 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 | 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 |
