User Reviews for Nasonex nasal

Was on this medication for three weeks. At first sinus pain gone then began to notice a loss of taste and smell. Went off a few days, but thought surely the medication would not have caused it. Went about another week and decided to stop it. Have been off it a week and one-half and still can't taste sweet or salty or smell very week. I have noticed that at the back of my tongue I am beginning to get some taste back but almost choke trying to get the food back there to get a little of the taste back. I have not contacted my doctor as I have out of town, but will contact when I get back. I was happy to see someone else had the same problem. Read More Read Less

This drug helped with nasal inflammation. Used drug for several years. It has cause me to develop a hip bone necrosis which will require a hip replacement. This is a steroid, my doctor ignored this fact. Even though I expressed concern. I wish I had tried more natural remedies.

This is the second nasal spray I have tried and this one is the most effective on me. I have year round allergies, dust, smoke etc. this was a miracle nasal spray for me. I have been using it for approximately 4 years and I would not usde any other.

I am a 28 year old male and have been battling sinus congestion for most of my life. I gave up on Nasel spray a couple of years ago and started taking Claritin-D every day for years. It worked great but my kidneys took a beating and I started having bad kidney pain because of the decongestant. My doctor prescribed me Nasonex and after 3 or 4 bad nights it started working. It works fairly well but sometimes I feel that I can't breath very deeply when I play sports, I don't know if there is a mucas build up or some other side effect.Read More Read Less

I took neo-synephrine like nasal spray 5+ times a day for almost 22 years. In less than 3 weeks I am down to once a day and hope to get it to zero. So far so good.

I was prescribed this to help clear out a 3 month sinus infection - after 3 weeks of use, I noticed a decrease in taste and smell. As of 1/2/08, I no longer have either at all. It's like living in a vacuum with no senses. Food tastes either sweet, hard, soft or cold. Other than that, only the taste of mint is distinquishable. I called my Dr & he said he'd never heard of this issue w/ Nasonex. I showed him the warning on the package insert & he couldn't say that the loss of senses was due to congestion or Nasonex so he changed me to Rhinocort Aqua. I'm hoping my senses return - I can't imagine going thru life without tasting or smelling again. This is very upsetting.Read More Read Less

I use this medication to help sinus pressure as I have reoccuring sinus infections. It's pretty effective for me within 2 to 3 treatments the pressure is gone.

After using this medication for at least two weeks I lost my sense of smell and taste. This happened to me in early Spring and I haven't gotten it back. It is very upsetting to me. I do not know if it is reversable or will I be like this the rest of my life.

to treat seasonal allergies

Nasonex worked fine at first but then I started with a dry hacking cough from it. It caused my asthma to act up so I have to stop it.

I am a healthy, 45 y.o. male who took Nasonex for about four years to prevent symptoms of allergic rhinitis. Although the product worked effectively, it caused me to develop subcapsular cataracts in both of my eyes. I will eventually need a lens replacement operation. The product insert indicates a possible risk of cataracts in patients who are predisposed towards them. It also presents data from a study that found no increase in cataract formation. Clearly the long term adverse-effect profile has not been evaluated by Schering-Plough. Read More Read Less

my experience with this treatment has been very effectivness. I have been on this medication for about 3 months. I have been treated for nasal polyps, this is my second time having nasal polyps. The first time I had them was surgeory

Works pretty ell if used correctly. I was previously trying to spray it straight up my nose and inhaling and that is incorrect. It needs to be sprayed at an angle towards the eyes while gently inhaling. This allows it to stay in the sinuses and work where it needs to work. It doesn't relieve 100% of my symptoms, but it helps a lot.
