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.

After suffering a cold/flu/cough/sinusitis for over a month...I was annoyed...i hate meds and tried garlic, fruit, plant based foods etc....but nothing has helped...so now Ive started nasonex...first took it last night...sort of felt like i had sniffed amphetemines...talked too much and couldnt sleep...is that normal? I eventually did sleep and today I have taken it again....I can breath again...thank you...I read it helps with snoring and breathing at night which i have had issues in the past....so thus far I think its ok.Read More Read Less

Nasonex got rid of my runny nose. Great! Except now everything tastes like a combination of metal and cardboard. What a horrific side effect. I guess they could market this as a weight loss drug, too, since it makes food taste terrible. The taste is always in my mouth whether I am eating or not. I am throwing this crap away. I hope that my sense of taste returns soon. What a miserable thing.

Have had chronic Post Nasal Drip for years, recently waking up with blood in my mouth as well as the usual thick mucus in my throat. Within 48 hrs of using Nasonex the blood and mucus has stopped. Only two weeks into the treatment with no side effects.

I have been on Nasonex for about two years. Last August my hair began to fall out, with accompanying scalp inflammation. All tests were negative. Hair grew back,eventually, but began coming out this August, coinciding with allergy season and use of Nasonex. Again, inflammed scalp, with eye irritation, redness, tightness and blurred vision on occasion. I have also lost sense of taste and have experienced smelling cigarette smoke in my home, when no one is smoking. I have had increased irritablity this summer.I do not take any medications except vitamins, am a very healty 66 year old! Have just completed more blood studies and a scalp biopsy. The culprit seems to be Nasonex, based on process of elimination and also, some smaller studies desribing similar results. I do not recommend this product!!Read More Read Less

Worked quickly and well for severe sinus congestion. BTW..... Singapore is a seperate country (not part of China) with a better health care system than the USA. Their infant mortality rate is the best in the world...USA is 25th or so. I would trust them to manufacture any drug. Ignorance is bliss...

My 4 yr old son was having frequent ear infections with sinus congestion. His Dr. decided to try this. My son is very sensitive to steroid medications so I was a little concerned about using this. I tried it. Withing 2 days he was moody, irritable, crying/sensitive...nothing like his usual self. He reacted to this spray exactly like he does to other steroidal meds. I stopped it right away.

Doc gave me a sample bottle because I had a severe sinus infection that was keeping my nose clogged up and I couldn't breathe. told me 2 sprays a day each nostril. Did 2 right there at the office, then two later that night. That's it! Why? Because I lost all sense of smell and taste. I can't believe it! This is FDA approved and all these people are losing sense of smell and taste? And its not on the list of side effects? Yes, I reported it to the FDA, and I'm hoping to God I get my senses back. After 4 sprays? Seriously? Terrible product! Just terrible! Shame on the company for not taking it off the shelves when all these people are reporting this too. Its only been a day, after reading all the other posts, I guess it will take weeks? UGH! Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE!Read More Read Less

I have used Nasonex daily for several years with no noticeable side effects other than an occasional red spot in the tissue when I blow my nose. It was prescribed to help prevent nasal drainage into my throat that interferred with my sleep and a stuffy nose that caused me to sleep with my mouth open that resulted in snoring and dry mouth, which would also awaken me. Nasonex taken at least two hours before bedtime generally avoids these interuptions to my sleep.

Nasonex saves my life every year. My allergies are aweful and nothing ruins a day more than sneezing, watery eyes, and a stuffy nose, especially when you cant do anything to relieve it. After figuring out that no OTC medications worked for me, my doctor prescribed me Nasonex to prevent my allergies from flaring up. *Need quick relief??? Because Nasonex is a cortico-steroid, it takes about two weeks to begin working, so you have to take it before allergy season starts. Honestly though who knows when that is! If you need quick allergy relief and none of the OTC meds are working, Talk to your doctor about Xyzal. It is a tiny antihistamine that works wonders. After one dose I felt 10x better! So Yeah, Nasonex and Xyzal = best allergy treatments!!!Read More Read Less

I was told 1 squirt in each nostril, its been 2 days and I only used it once and I have diarrhea and I am nauseous every time I eat or don't. The side effects are way worse then the help it is giving you! If I would have thought it was this bad I would have never even tried it.
