User Reviews for Dymista nasal

Long history of allergic and non-allergic rhinitis including sinus surgery. Most recently put on this by allergist along with a new round of immuno-therapy. I have not gotten any relief of symptoms from this medication except for the first few minutes after administering it. It is expensive and the only benefit is the convenience of two medications mixed into one bottle.

I have used Dymista on and off for a few years. When there is approximately 1/5 of product left in the bottle, the strength has decreased significantly which results in needing to start a new bottle. It's frustrating and costly. I wonder what causes this.

I have been on Dymista for over a year. My ENT prescribed it after every other nasal spray failed to alleviate my symptoms and I can only take one allergy pill due to a heart condition. IT has been very effective at treating my symptoms so far. I have only recently noticed that my sense of smell has changed and that I smell a sour odor all the time. I have asked other people if they smell the same thing and they deny it, so I can only assume this is something I am experiencing from this medication. I have also had some slight nosebleeds like other people claim to have had, but they actually have been better than the ones I have had with my sinus issues which would last for almost an hour at times before. I am glad that I have taken this medicine overall. It's kept me from the dreaded sinus surgery so far and my side effects have been very minimal. Read More Read Less

My nose was so congested that I could not breathe at all. It was so bad at night that I could not sleep. If I did fall asleep I would wake up gasping for air. I had tried every nasal spray that exists and none help me. Finally I went to a ENT and he prescribed Dymista. It has worked wonders for me. There is a slight bitter taste which I resolved by using a little baking soda and toothpaste mixed together. I also make sure that I rinse my mouth and gargle with water so that the back of my throat and my mouth will not get thrush. Although it is somewhat expensive it has saved my life!

I have a prolonged loss of taste after I use this medicine. I also taste the medicine run down my throat. The taste is awful and lingers. I am following the instructions standing up, holding head down then puff and gently breathe in. While the medicine works I can't deal with the loss of taste buds and bad taste in my mouth.

I have been fighting allergy symptoms for the past 10 yrs. Completely stopped up and yet had nasal drip and constant throat clearing from drainage. None of the over the counter or prescription drugs have helped. Changed doctors and he gave me a sample of Dymista. Finally got some relief. I was ecstatic. Went to fill the script for Dymista and found out it was $200.00 for a one month supply. My Plan D Medicare refused to pay for it and because I have Plan D Medicare I cannot get any help from from the company....so my relief went down the drain. Contacted my doctor and the best we could come up with is to use two separate nasal sprays which are both generic. Fluticasone Propionate (which has never worked in the past but is one of the ingredients in Dymista) and Azelastine Hydrochloride which is the other ingredient in Dymista. Ended up costing me about $40.00 for a 30 day treatment. Much better but still too expensive when I'm already trying to survive on Social Security. Bottom line.....I've only used it for two weeks and it may not continue to help but for the most part it is the best relief I've gotten in ten years of trying every thing I could find. So upsetting that it is going to be too expensive for me to continue using. Read More Read Less

I was prescribed dymista to alleviate swollen sinuses and a post nasal drip that was causing tonsil stones. The dymista worked almostv immediately to the point that the tonsil stones also disappeared and I could breathe easily. After a week of using it, my nose started to feel very raw and crusty inside. When I blow my nose chunks of blood comes out and the top of my nose feels incredibly sensitive and whistles. Really disappointed as it is effective, but the side effects seems pretty serious.

I've been using Dymista for nearly three years. It has worked well to relieve sinus pressure and pain, runny nose and itchy eyes, but has begun to cause other side effects. I've been suffering from acid reflux, shortness of breath, more frequent asthma attacks and an incessant skin itching. Additionally, if I scratch or rub my skin, the area turns bright red and becomes textured. It goes away after about ten minutes but the itching becomes intolerable during that period. I'm concerned about long-term side effects and am not convinced the FDA has any information on patients using the drug for years. I think Dymista may be good for short-term relief in order to get severe symptoms under control, but I'm skeptical that it should be used long-term.Read More Read Less

On the whole the best nasal spray I have used for both post nasal drip and seasonal allergies. The negatives - the smell lingers and can be quite unpleasant. I have found that after 2 years continuous use, it's not as effective as it used to be. I now have to top it up with antihistamine tablets. Which, to me, is double expenditure when the spray should cover that job.

I used this for two weeks and I had headaches but thought nothing of it. Eventually I had two horrific nosebleeds within a day and lost so much blood I nearly lost consciousness. The bleeding could not be stopped and now I am still sneezing and bleeding slightly after almost a week.

This nasal spray was prescribed by my ENT for nasal allergies (inflammation) and fluid in my right ear. It worked fine for the fluid in my ear, but after 2 weeks of use I began to experience horrid sinus pain and daily migraine headaches. I am discontinuing use of this drug and will return to using the old/plain Flonase as I did before with no side effects.

I was taking it to help clear up a prolonged bout of sinusitis. It worked to keep my nasal passages clear. I had to stop taking it because it created a phantom smell of cigarette smoke several hours after taking it each day that would last until the next dose. The smell was very strong. No one else could smell it. I started googling and found reports of the same thing from this medication. So odd. I stopped taking it and the phantom cigarette smell went away immediately and did not come back. Just to make sure I just tried it again yesterday and sure enough, about three hours after spraying it in my nose, the cigarette smell was back. So though it worked well, the phantom smoke smell is a deal breaker. Very odd side effect too!Read More Read Less

I was prescribed this at the tail end of a months long bout with sinusitis. I was using Flonase prior to this but still had the post nasal drip. I have no allergies at all (Was tested by immunologist) but did have the congestion and post nasal drip from the sinusitis. It seemed to work, just ok. It lessened the post nasal drip mostly. The taste of it dripping down my throat a little while after taking it, though I followed directions and bent my head forward, was not pleasant, but not a deal breaker. The deal breaker was this; a couple of hours after taking this drug, every time, I started smelling a strong smell of cigarette smoke, then there was none around me. It took me a couple of weeks to make the connection, when I realized that I smelled cigarette smoke no matter where I was, and no one else could smell it. So it wasn't that I had developed some supernatural sense of smell and could sniff out cigarette smoke from miles away. It was the drug. I see one other review here mentioning the cigarette smoke smell too. It should probably be listed as an adverse reaction on the packaging material. Judging from the reviews, it's not a common side effect, which is good. It's incredibly annoying. I stopped taking it three days ago and the cigarette smell has gone and not returned.Read More Read Less

I was prescribed this spray by my ENT Doctor in February 2015. I used it once daily before bed. It worked really well to relieve the swelling in my turbinites and sinuses and I woke up headache free for several months. However this past week has been hellish. I feel as though someone punched me and broke my nose. I cannot touch my nostrils or the inside of my nose even slightly without cringing with pain. I also have a slight bloody nose, not enough that it runs but if I dab a tissue it is bloody. Needless to say I stopped using it immediately and do not plan on ever using it again. Also I too have been smelling odd smells such as cigarette smoke and no one has ever smoked in my house either. I think they need to go back to clinical trials and document the long term effects of this drug before someone sues them. Just saying... Read More Read Less

I have been suffering with really bad allergies for the past 5 years, have tried many products with minimal results so I tried this product and within a couple days of a once a day treatment my symptoms were signicantly better, especially the eyes (which nothing really helped with before), I thought I finally found the answer, bur then I developed a very bad metallic taste in my mouth which effected the taste of everything I ate. It got so bad that I had to stop taking this product. I have not used the product for 3 weeks, but am still experiencing the bad taste. It is so bad that I do not want to eat anything. So disappointing!Read More Read Less

At first Dymista slightly relieved my congestion. After three weeks it aggravated it.

This seemed floral-scented to me. Maybe because of that, every time I used it, I sneezed for an hour, which got my nose all stopped up again. Discontinued after just a week of use.

Suffered from chronic rhinitis for several years. Could not breathe through one of my nostrils at all. Constant dripping from my nose. Affected my sleep pattern. Had polyps removed which made no difference. Doctor put me on Dymista and I haven't looked back. My sense of Smell which I lost for several years has returned after 2 weeks on Dymista. I use it once a day before going to bed. I have had no side effects so far.

I have only taken three doses of this over two days. It does clear up the sinus nicely, but it also gave me eye pain and a headache. I am not going to use it.

My doctor gave me two samples of Dymista, I used it as directed. After a few weeks, I noticed I lost my sense of smell and taste, I thought its because of my allergies, so I continued using it till I finished the two bottles. I decided not to refill it, so didn't use it for a week and I noticed my sense of smell came back but not as good as it was before. Last month, I visited the doctor again, he gave me another sample use it and noticed I lost my sense of smell again, this time I realized it must be the Dymista so I stopped it, but it's been two weeks and my sense of smell hasn't come back like it used to be. Hopefully it will. Read More Read Less
