| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 5 | seasonal allergies | Works great when used properly and for what it is designed for. Too bad we have so many people who want to blame a nasal spray for their poor overall health, bad diets and lack of exercise. | M | 53 | 4 years | 12/5/2011 | 5 | Allergies/Sinuses | No side effects at all | I have been using Nasonex for about 2 years now. I was told to use one puff in each nostril 2x per day but I only need to use it at night. I sleep good and have no problems at all. | F | 42 | 2 years 50MG 2X day | 11/15/2011 | 5 | Nasal Congestion | Absolutely none. I have been taking this medication for five months and these have been the happiest, most peaceful times of my life. I have slept really well and rarely wake up at night now. I no longer feel tired from allergies and I haven't noticed any of the side effects below. | M | 25 | 5 months 200 mcg 1X day | 9/24/2011 | 5 | Allergic rhinitis | Mild headache, but it cured the allergic rhinitis and I am sleeping through the night for the first time in 3 months, can breathe through my nose and very happy with the drug so far. In the last 3 months I tried everything (nasal irrigation, sudafed, otrivin etc) and this was a last resort as I was concerned about the reported side effects. I am very healthy and fit otherwise. | F | 49 | 14 days 50 1X day | 8/7/2011 | 5 | ear pressure, allergies | None! | Great drug! I've been taking it in conjunction with Flonase and they work fantastically together. I was having problems with pressure in my ears and have always had allergies and living in the Ohio Valley did not help! Allergies are horrible, had none when I lived in Cali! Would recommend this drug but do be mindful of the side effects and educate yourself before you take it. It is a steroid- can mask the symptoms of infections that you may have and are not aware of. Cardio issues, etc can occur. Educate yourself before taking any medication. | F | 36 | 30 days 50 mcg 1X day | 1/27/2011 | 5 | allergic rhinitis | Thick, dark red (almost black) blood when blowing nose or clearing throat - but only once in the whole day and only following the day on which i take Nasonex.Rest of the day when i blow my nose or clear my throat it is thick, but white. | I suffered with allergic rhinitis about once in 7-10 days for 24 hours for several years in India from age 21-26, untreated. Then i moved to Australia and it disappeared by itself (Hint - sometimes a change in climate can help!). But after a good break of 5 years it returned and i suffered for another 5 years before i finally saw a doctor about it who put me onto Nasonex and it worked like magic. My problem disappeared almost instantly. My doctor prescribed 2 puffs in each nostril daily. But i only took it as one puff in each nostril and every alternate day. So in effect i take only a quarter of the dose he prescribed and only in the warmer months. In winter i have absolutely no need of Nasonex as i am fine without it. However in the last 2 months (after taking Nasonex for over 2 years) i have developed the blood in the nose/throat and will be seeing my doctor about it. | M | 39 | 2 years 50mcg 1X O | 12/14/2010 | 5 | Severe Allergic Rhinitis | Maybe a little more awake than usual. My allergies made me Feel sleepy all the time. It's actually a welcomed side effect. | No issues so far. Will keep everyone posted. | M | 47 | 3 weeks 2X day | 11/23/2010 | 5 | HAYFEVER | The drug works fabulously. I took anti-histamines for years and hayfever would not be reduced much, with bad days being unbearable. I am a pretty severe hayfever sufferer. With nazonex most days i am unaffected by hayfever and on the bad days i am still affected a little bit with itchy eyes and with a cough. I take anti-histamine eye drops which together with nazonex makes it work better. | This site is obviously just filled with the people who have problems, (like most forums), I think the rating doesn't reflect the actual satisfaction of this drug. I know a few people who take it and have the same feeling as me. People with no problems are not going to google "nasonex" side affects... so don't be afraid to take this if your doctor prescribes it. | M | 28 | 2 months 50PG 2X day | 11/20/2010 | 5 | Severe environmental allergies | None. | Nasonex is a life saver. I've had severe environmental allergies (all tree and grasses) all my adult life and this is the first medication that actual helps me. | M | 33 | 6 months 2X day | 11/4/2010 | 5 | Allergies | None | I went to an allergist about two months ago because my late summer and fall allergies were getting worse each year. I would have sneezing fits where I couldn't stop and would wake up around 3 or 4 in the morning with sneezing and stuffy nose. OTC helped to some extent, when I remembered to take it. Nasonex has helped me greatly. | F | 35 | 2 months 2X day | 9/8/2010 | 5 | hay fever, allergies | No side effects | I've had allergies and hay fever for about 8 years now, and it keeps getting worse, even with once or twice yearly trips to the ENT. I've been on Nasonex for a couple of weeks now after my latest trip to the doctor, and it's been very effective. During some bad spells, I've been sneezing 30~50 times per day, runny nose, etc. Nasonex cleared it right up and so far has been very effective. I don't really like taking medications for fear of developing resistance, so I will probably stop after a few days to see how bad it gets again, but for now, I've been very satisfied. I can now breathe with both nostrils, sneeze once or twice a day at most, no runny nose, etc. On a side note, I've seen some people complaining about the price of Nasonex, and that seemed strange, so I looked up the prices. Oh, my God! I saw prices ranging from 50~100 dollars! That's ridiculous. Why is it so expensive in the US? I'm in South Korea, and one bottle cost something like 3 or 4 dollars with a prescription. Of course we have a good national health care system, so something like 60~70% of most medications are paid through insurance, but that still makes it around 10 dollars without insurance. I know health care costs in the US is expensive, but I had no idea it was this bad. | M | 39 | 15 days 2 sprays 1X day | 8/11/2010 | 5 | allergies | use less than prescribed; but in combination with ClaritonD generic, it is perfect for allergies except occasional nose dryness/blood. | It is one of a kind and the cost is prohibitive. I am attempting to find comparable or generic of similar. | F | 52 | 2 years 1X day | 7/6/2010 | 5 | rhinitis/sinusitis | Negligible side effects, beats having to have antibiotic therapy q 3-6months | During the cold and flu season some mucus membrane tenderness may occur but less than 24-48hrs, then normal tolerance as before | M | 44 | 2 puffs ea 1X day | 6/25/2010 | 5 | severe allergies | this drug really did change my life. before i had to pretty much avoid the outdoors in the spring and fall. and would get allergy attacks at night that would keep me up for hours -- absolutely miserable. and i would usually end up with a bronchial infection about once/yr. IMPORTANT: INITIALLY, YOU MUST TAKE THIS DAILY AS PRESCRIBED FOR AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE YOU WILL GET RELIEF. But in subsequent seasons I can take it when i start to feel symptomatic and i usually start getting relief the next day. I take it daily in the heart of allergy season, then back way off in the winter and summer. | M | 45 | 10 years 1X day | 6/24/2010 | 5 | chronic sinus pressure, stuffiness | none | I never realized how miserable I was until I took this drug! I feel more alert, energetic, even look better! Have none of the side effects described by others. I guess I can't take it forever, but I certainly dread going back to my previous life without it. | F | 57 | 4 months 1 spray 2X day | 5/10/2010 | 5 | spring pollen alleries | I found this to be a very potent and effective drug. However, since I read comments here before taking the drug I was determined to avoid side effects by taking the drug very SPARINGLY, not as prescribed. I could feel some agitation even with a single dose and have used it only when symptoms were strong. It helped immensely and immediately to relieve cough, pain in throat, sneezing, chest pain and sinus headaches. | Instead of relying only on this drug I also did a nasal cleaning with saline and a netti pot at least twice a day and used a silk mask both at home and outdoors as a physical protection from the pollen (obtained from the website achoo.com) | F | 59 | 5 weeks 1X AN | 4/19/2010 | 5 | Sinus infections | Have not experienced any so far. Have had no sinus headaches, or pressure since I started on it. Feel better than I have in ages. | F | 34 | 3 weeks | 1/19/2010 | 5 | chronic allergic rhinitis | Initially a dry nose and a little blood but only in the first month. If I breath in too much I can taste it a bit in my throat. Small price to pay for the relief it gives. | After 3 & 1/2 years I was allergy tested and no reaction to the 40 main culprits. But still I was so bad it would lay me up in bed and take a day to get over after a bad attack and in-between bad bouts my nose was constantly blocked and/or runny 24 hrs a day. I would have to lay on my back so that it could run down my throat as I couldn't blow my nose often enough to keep up. Like having a severe constant head cold for over 3 years. Was continually taking allergy tabs and decongestant sprays to make me feel half normal even though the sprays aren't good for the nasal passages and the tablets never made a major difference. The doctor prescribed Nasonex to try and it took affect after a few days. I BEGAN TO FEEL NORMAL AGAIN. No more bloodshot eyes or watery noses or waking up at night unable to breath. It is the best thing I have tried. No drowsiness, sleep like a baby, have a slow and steady heart beat, my taste and smell is fine. I would prefer to know why I am so allergic but would need much more intensive testing. It really did help. From what I can read it seems to work best with allergy suffers. The side effects mentioned here sounds scary but I have not had a one and am very happy with how it has managed to help me. I still occasionally get blocked and still use a nasal decongestant but that is usually if I drop my doses. | F | 49 | 8 months | 1/15/2010 | 5 | Allergies/ Hay fever / Blocked nose | None, except for a few slight nose bleeds | I had a blocked nose for over a year and I found it difficult to smell, taste, swallow and breath properly. This was due to allergies, hay fever and asthma, my skin was constantly itchy and I was always breaking out in rashes or hives due to allegens. I am very weary of any forms of drugs and used this medication carefully. I didnt take the higher dosage my doctor advised. I started off with one spray per nostral before bed. My nose cleared up within 3 days and I could finaly use it again. I then slowed my dosage to once a night every second or third day for the next 2 months and now I only use it if I feel my nose blocking up again or if my allergies start playing up this can be weeks or even months between each dosage. It has worked very well and not only cleared my nose but dramaticly reduced my hayfever and allergies they are almost non existant which has given me back a productive life, I have so much more energy now and I dont feel run down any more. I think what may help some is to taylor the dosage to your own needs (you dont need overkill) and when you spray into your nose *dont* breath in at the same time as this will draw it into your throat and lungs. I also noticed if I aimed it wrong and sprayed the inside side of my nose I tended to increase my chances of a nose bleed now i make a conscious effort to aim it up the middle and have not had any bleeding since. Not all medications are for everyone but I hope this may help some. | F | 42 | 11 months | 12/2/2009 | 5 | Blocked Nose | None as yet. I find it works very well to clear my nose. | I have been taking Nasonex for a year, I only use as required (worst time effected is during Sept - Nov, Australian Spring) My prescribed dose is 2 puf each nostril, once a day for first week then as required. 1 Bottle lasts me 12 mths. | F | 28 | 1 years | 11/8/2009 |
