| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 4 | allergic rhinitis chronic sinusitis | in the first 6 mths i had a few nose bleeds (in the winter), possibly affecting my immune system... | I've been on nasonex for 4 years and arius for 2 years! Arius is a god send in terms of controlling alliegies and it doubles as a mild decongestant ( without the actual pseudoephedrine, phenylpropanolamine or phenylephrine) I've reduced frequency and length of sinus infection to 4-10 a year ranging from 4 to 12 weeks (on antibiotics) to 1 a year at maybe 2 or 3 weeks (on antibiotics) however there has been an increase in Bronchitis average 3 a year(post nasal drip) and several tonsilitis infections (5 in the last 18 months). Perhaps a trade off and just moving the site of infection. At least I avoided surgery!I have read that using Nasonex for more then 2 yrs straight may depresse your immune system. I now use it only when my sinuses bother me and when I start, I use it at least two weeks (any shorter and it is as not effective adn I end using more in shorter burst then needed) I try to go a few months a year without it to let my immune system build up. | F | 20 | 4 times | 2/8/2006 | 4 | allergic rhinitis chronic sinusitis | in the first 6 mths i had a few nose bleeds (in the winter), possibly affecting my immune system... | I've been on nasonex for 4 years and arius for 2 years!

My 10-year-old son was on Nasonex for a while for allergies. He started to have persistent stomach aches that stopped when he went off it, and started up again immediately when he went back on it. Still don't have enough information to know if this is coincidence or a side effect. | This really cleared up my son's constant sniffles and runny nose. The doctor told me that the steroid absorption is almost nil, so I felt pretty safe. My son used to take allegra, which does not work half as well. | M | 10 | 60 days | 1/8/2006 | 4 | nasla polyps/sinusitus | blood in nasal discharge,light headed,aggressive or high spirited in the early stages of use ie first month.stopped using after three months because of visual disturbance and reached a point when it was doing no good also had a bout of depression and aching joints for a month after i stopped using it. | M | 31 | 3 days | 12/27/2005 | 4 | sinusitis surgery, preventive | sore throat if i forget to take it a couple days in a row then take a dose, fixed by the blue non-scented version. nosebleeds just recently. | this has worked great until about two months ago when i have started having nose bleeds and dryed out sinuses (too dry) to where i cant breath through my nose without pain. i think i may have developed a tolerance for it. | F | 19 | 5 years | 9/1/2005 | 4 | nasal irritation due to cyst | I have been retaining water, becoming rather bloated (fingers, ankles, face). I assume its from the steroid in Nasonex, but I haven't yet been able to clarify that as a side effect of the drug. However, I am taking nothing else, so it must be the Nasonex. | The burning & itching in my nose/sinuses has subsided. Sneezing has decreased to almost nothing. | F | 34 | 2 weeks | 6/9/2005 | 4 | dust allergy | After taking this for almost three months I started getting dizzy/light headed spells. My doc didn't think it was the spray, but all my bloodwork came back clear. I think it is the spray. | It's worked wonders on clearing my nose, but it's not worth being dizzy. I've just discontinued it. | F | 33 | 3 months | 5/27/2005 | 4 | sinusitus | only been on it for 3 days so none really yet except its like snorting hand cream! | ive been ill for over 3 weeks with a sinus infection and vertigo. antibiotics have cleared up the infection but im having the worse attack of sinusitus ive ever had (been suffering for years) ive put off going to the doctor about it due to ppl telling me the only treatment is getting ur face drilled anyway hes put me on this stuff and reckons in 2 weeks i will be cured and i cant wait i dont remember a time i didnt have headaches and a stuffy nose and interupted sleep! anyway it is helping so far im feeling a little better each day just waiting to actually sleep now | F | 33 | 3 days | 5/6/2005 | 4 | | 2/27/2005 | 4 | Chronic stuffy nose | I have a terrible metallic taste in my mouth and a burning sensation on one side of my tongue - tongue is sensitive too. When I eat or drink anything the burning is worse and it alters the taste of my food. It's so unpleasant that I can only used this medication for a couple days and then I have to stop. When I stop, so do the side effects. If not for the side effects I would love this stuff. | It does work. It says that it can take awhile to work but it works for me right away. But I'm not sure what's worse, the stuffy nose or the horrible thing it does to my tongue. | F | 43 | 6 months | 2/20/2005 | 4 | Sinusitis & hearing problem | I found that I have become very irritible & short-tempered & easily stressed. These subsided when I stopped taking it. Have to work on finding the right balance to treat sinusitis & ear against side effects. | Has really help clear up sinus problem & ear problem is a little better. Overall - very imressed. | M | 37 | 3 weeks | 2/15/2005 | 4 | allergies | Tiny bit of blood in nasal discharge. Seem to get head cold every two weeks. | M | 32 | 3 years | 1/12/2005 | 4 | high frequency loss in ear | smell is like rose water. | prescribed to fix very high frequency loss in both ears but after 10 days no difference noted. Great decongestant though.. | M | 40 | 10 days | 8/18/2004 | 4 | Sinusitis | none | M | 44 | 5 years | 5/13/2004 | 4 | congestion | After affects - can't get off it! When I stop taking it, I am so much more congested that I have to go back on it just to breathe. | F | 46 | 4 months | 3/12/2004 | 4 | allergies | M | 47 | 30 days | 5/19/2002 | 4 | | 4/5/2001 | 4 | stuffy nose | none | M | 63 | | 1/18/2001 | 5 | Rugby nose and sinusitis | None at all | Very effective | M | 65 | 1 days 15 2X day | 7/27/2022 |
