Works to treat allergies, but causes occasional nose bleeds. Also always have blood in nasial fluid when blow nose. Suspect part of my issues with dizziness and weakness may be a result of this medication.

I was given this nasal spray for relief of dizziness and fluid in the ear...No it hasn't helped my issues and it made my throat very sore and I still have the sam problems...I don't think this was the correct medication for me..Misdiagnoised and very dissatisfied with my doctor. Not this product.

this med is very effective in clearing my nose so that I can breath freely, however, I have noticed that I have a demostrated lessening of taste and sense of smell as a result of the useage. I have reduce dosage to once or twice a week and it seems to help. Anyone else out there experiencing similar symptoms?

No one told me the product would rev me up and keep me awake at night. So now I only use it every third or forth day.

Cleared up my allergies quickly. No more sneezing or stuffy nose. Doesn't drip into the back of my throat or leave a bad after taste which is a plus.

It seems to work better than oral medications.

My right nostril plugs up while asleep due to a deviated septim. This drug significantly reduced this occurance. While surgery is the long term solution. The drug significantly reduced the issue until surgery can be performed.

My left nostril was completely blocked and my right side was also quite inflamed according to my doctor. After using the drug, I can breathe through my nose again, and I have less mucus to blow out every morning. I feel better in general because I sneeze less. Side effects I've experienced are blood clots in my nose, light bleeding, and sores in my nose. It hurts when I touch my nose from the outside. I am not sure whether to continue using it or not...because I do enjoy the clear nose.

I wrote the review back in 02/08 and at that time said that I had an allergy. Now, I'm not so sure. My right side keeps clogging up if I don't use something, so I'm having to use Rhinocort at least every 2nd or 3rd day now (although, I know, that is not per the recommended dosage). I may have something weird going on in my nasal passage or in one or more of my sinusus. Anyway, the biggest thing I want to say is that all side effects have resolved themselves - other than every once in a while I may get a slight headache that is easy to trea / goes away soon enough. I don't know about the other corticosteroids, but Rhinocort (budesonide) works well with minimal side effects. From the very beginning (within 4 to 6 hours) I was doing much better.Read More Read Less

Was prescribed this med for snoring. Yes, snoring. Long time snoring problem (years and years). Sleep doc asked about congestion - yes, I've been more congested this year than others - always blowing nose to clear sinus build-up. On this med, my husband says I don't snore as much ans when I do snore, it is not nearly as loud. Am very happy - no side effects experienced.

It works really well to unclog my nose but my legs ache and my knees hurt. I also get short of breath easily and my heart beats weird right after I use it. I really hope these symptoms go away because I'd like to continue using the spray.

I had immediate relief from bad stuffy nose (I took nearing the end of relief after using Afrin - Rhinocort maintained clear sinuses from that point forward). At the same time, it gave me a headache, made it a little difficult to concentrate, and gave me a feeling not unlike that of acid reflux. I used Rhinocort 7 years ago and it worked great - and I don't remember these negative side effects then.

My sneezings disappeared totally throughout the 1 month period of usage. However, I have a little suspicion that my appetite disruption & light-headedness throughout the said period might be due to its side-effects.

I have some blood in my nose almost all the time. I do not use it as often as needed because of this.
