| 5 | Allgery and sinus congedtion | Only side effect was bitter taste but it help my sinius congestion | It work great for me | F | 60 | 12 years 50 mg 2X day | 6/20/2021 | 4 | Allergies | It worked great but makes me extremely sleepy that I cannot function, I'm hungry constantly and the bitter taste is intense! | F | 30 | 3 days 2X day | 9/11/2020 | 3 | Allergic sinusitis/rhinitis | This seemed to work very well for constant post nasal drip that flares during allergy season. Unfortunately, I only took it for 4 days before stopping, as it made me incredibly tired and loopy/clumsy/foggy. I passed out from exhaustion for 3 hours in the middle of the day an hour after one of my doses, which I have never done. I am more sensitive to medications, so Im not entirely surprised I experienced side effects, but I was really hoping this would work. Just not worth it though. | F | 31 | 4 days 2 sprays | 5/16/2020 | 5 | Allgery an sinus problem | Bitter taste sometime sneezeing | I love this spray it help my sinus alot | F | 59 | 0 years 50 | 1/3/2020 | 5 | For nasal allgeries with congestion | Blood in my urine bitter taste headache and slight weight gain. | F | 58 | 5 years 60 mg twic | 2/18/2019 | 3 | Allergies | WEIGHT GAIN. gnawing stomach hunger ALL the time. Documented, immediate weight increase. Dry mouth. | Seemed to work well for allergies. It's just not that worth it to me. I have allergic rhinitis, allergic to wet and dry molds and dust mites also: irritants, like cold weather, smells and particals. It was paired with also taking Flonase 2x per day (morning and night) with Patanese (olopatadine). I stopped the Patenese in May. The hunger pains ended the next day. I had to use it one day and noticed the difference within hours -how hungry I was again. I will never take this again. It is not for me. My brain no longer is asking: Should we eat, did we eat, what will we eat and when will we eat again -over and over all day. Nobody understands that unless they are going through it. Sweet freedom !! | F | 42 | 2 years 30 mg 4X day | 8/21/2018 | 3 | Seasonal allergies | This seemed to work great at first with no immediate side effects however after several months I noticed I was slowly gaining weight. I blew it off as something I was doing and not the spray but I went off it for a week and lost several lbs. Again I tried to tell myself it couldn't be the spray so I went back on it, gained evend more weight so I finally stopped using it for several weeks now and again have lost 4 lbs. In total I gained about 8. I know not earth shattering but to me it isn't worth it. Has anyone else gained weight from this spray? | F | 40 | 2 years 2 sprays | 2/18/2016 | 2 | Allergic Rhinitis | This didn't seem to stop my sneezing as well as Astepro/Astelin. | I went back to Astepro and it worked better than Patanase. | M | 51 | 1 days 665 mcg. 2X day | 10/25/2013 | 4 | Rhinitis | Weight gain, abdominal pain and distention. Drowsiness during the day. | It works very well for allergy symptoms, however the side effects are too uncomfortable to continue usage. | F | 60 | 3 months 2 sprays 2X day | 7/6/2013 | 2 | nasal problems | Taste is terrible. tingling in throat and gagging taste afterwards. | It does't really do anything for me. I use it during allergy season only now instead of everyday because the taste is horrible. | F | 43 | 6 months 1X day | 9/28/2011 | 4 | severe seasonal allergies | none. | This really helped to control my runny nose in combination with Zyrtec. | F | 32 | 14 days 2X day | 6/2/2010 | 2 | nasal allergies/swelling | horrible taste in mouth | Just didn't work. Only relieved nasal swelling for about 20 minutes so gave up after 3 days. | M | 17 | 3 days 2 sprays 2X day | 5/7/2010 | 4 | Nasal Allergies | Slight nalsal bleeding infrequent | This is the best nasal sprayed I've tried and I've been on about 4 or 5 different types. | M | 40 | 4 months 2X day | 4/6/2010 | 3 | Severe allergies | Horrid tatse. slight headaches. | M | 39 | 30 days | 8/10/2009 |
PATANASE (OLOPATADINE HYDROCHLORIDE): Olopatadine is used to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies that occur in the nose, such as runny/itchy/stuffy nose, sneezing, and post-nasal drip. This medication is an antihistamine. It works by blocking certain natural substances called histamines that are responsible for allergic symptoms. Do not use this medication in children younger than 2 years unless specifically directed by the doctor. To decrease the risk for serious side effects, carefully follow all of the doctor's dosage directions. Do not give other cough and cold medication that might contain the same or similar ingredients (see also Drug Interactions section). Ask your doctor or pharmacist about other ways to relieve cough and cold symptoms (such as saline nose drops/spray, using a humidifier or infant nasal suction bulb). FDA Approval Date: 2008-04-15 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
