I was prescribed Nasonex for chronic nasal congestion and it worked, really well. I had been on it for about 10 years (2x daily) when I started having digestive problems, severe heartburn and stomach pains. For over a year I went to many specialists and no one could figure out the cause, especially since I had never experienced these symptoms before. Finally, I went to a naturopath who suggeste...

My prescription plan refused to give me flonase and subsituted nasonex. I looked at box and it was manufactured in Singapore China and I am sorry but I am afraid to inhale anything that is made in China.

I had an allergic reaction to Nasonex. I broke out in an itchy rash/hives on my face, head, ears, legs and elbows. Apparently this is uncommon but it happened to me

I have had immediate results with this medication. I have suffered night-time coughing due to severe sinus drainage and was only able to sleep 1-2 hrs a night for a year now. I sprayed each nostril once and within minutes felt relief in my nasal breathing. My cough has stopped and I am now able to get more restful sleep. Also, my husband says I am not snoring which has been a problem also.

I hate using nasal sprays because my nasal membranes tend to stay swollen. However, Nasonex has such a fine mist that I was able to tolerate the mild discomfort. In a few days, I experienced amazing relief after years of constantly wiping my nose and eyes. Be aware that the cost of this medicine may be prohibitive, even with the prescription assistance provided by my employer provided medical insurance.

After years of using over-the-counter nasal sprays to "treat" my year round allergies, I was finally fed up with always having a stuffy nose and nothing working. (I found out this was due to using the OTC nasal sprays so often) My doctor prescribed me this spray, and within 1 week I've already noticed an improvement. I'm not using the OTC spray as often, and I'm hoping to "wean" my way off of them (OTC sprays). It has also helped me to not sneeze as much, which is a HUGE relief for me. I overall am very happy with this medicine, and am hoping it will continue to help my allergies. I have not experienced any side effects as of this time. Read More Read Less

I have allergies year round, they sometimes turn into sinus infections so I have tried everything, claritin, allegra, etc.Finally a ENT put me on nasonex and it is like a wonder drug. In less than a week, no more stuffiness and I can sleep at night without my nose being stopped up. It is a miracle, I wish I would have tried it 5 years ago. I haven't experienced any of the numbness and loss of smell or taste. and I like it because it is not a steriod.

I have used this product for less than two years. I recently found a natural supplement that works well. I wish I had never started taking this drug. I lost my sense of smell and after stopping it has returned but I smell cigarette smoke all the time even though no one is smoking. Again I am really disappointed.

After only using this drug for 2 weeks I lost my sense of smell and taste completely. The only taste I have is sweet and sour and cannot smell anything. It is very upsetting and if I only knew that this could possibly happen I would NEVER have taken this drug! It has ruined a quality of my life and it scares me to think it is given out to young children!

My step-son has been on Nasonex for two years, due to chronic sinus infections. The Nasonex is very effective, if taken correctly & every day. When he does go to his Mom's house, he doesn't get his medicine because he "doesn't need it" so when he returns a few days later, his allergies are acting up. But, when he does get it everyday, it's very effective!

I've only been using for a few days and noticed a numbness in my tongue and loss of taste. I've also had strange things happen with my eyes in sunlight. I'm seeing halos and hallucinogenic like colors that don't exist. After reading the comments here, I am stopping the use of this drug immediately.

This spray has been a godsend for me. I had taken maintenance shots for allergies on two different occasions, and they helped. But I found taking shots to be a big hassle and didn't want to go in that direction again. My doctor perscribed Nasonex and I experienced almost immediate relief. I also had three surgeries for nasal poloyps throughout the years and hope to control them now with Nasonex.

I do not like the dispenser for this med. It is very difficult to fit the fingers onto the push pump & still fit the nozzle far enough into the nose to ascertain that it has actually released a dose into the nostril. I much preferred the Nasocort AQ, but unfortunately, my HMO no longer will pay for the Nasocort.
