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.

It seems to help my nose but I am now suffering with chronic leg/back pain that hurts so bad I cannot work without having to get up every 10 min to walk around. I have to stop this due to pain, sadly helps nose but the leg/back pain is very very bad.

This is the only inhalant I can take that actually works for me. I take both the Claritin and the Nasonex and I've never felt better. My inflammation has subsided in my sinuses and my face doesn't feel like I've been punched by Mike Tyson. I also use saline nose spray before I take the Nasonex. If I don't, it's a bit too drying for me. Overall I love the product. I've never experienced better living than when I take it. I've never had any of the listed side effects. As a matter of fact, the anxiety I had been having, was due to the pain from my sinuses but once I started using this product the anxiety has lessened tremendously! Read More Read Less

I have extreme sinus congestion for 3 months soemtimes with runny nose sometimes not, and have so many triggers (gluten, sometimes dairy, dust,), kept taking antihistamine's I was prescribed nasonex a month ago, and i was taking it as needed which is incorrect, but after seeing another dr about my on going sinus congestion, he said to stop antihistamines it was making my condition worse because it thickens the mucus. He was right.. nasonex alone helped me massively now i dont feel like a whistle/snoring sound when i try breathe in i the little times where its not completely blocked. Literally everyday used to feel clogged. Im so happy with the product i spray one spray each nosetril twice a day, Taken with antibiotics Klacid for the sinus infection.Read More Read Less

Nasacort, saline spray and fluticare continuous use sprays all help keep my nose unclogged and estuation tubes open s o I can hear. I use Nasacort every morning, saline spray if required during the day and Fluticare at bedtime. Nasocort did not only not work for me but seemed to enhance clogging.

I have BAD allergies & have tried just about everything. My dad is the same way. I bought this stuff then was given 2 bottles because it didn’t work for him. I used this ONE time and I have never been so uncomfortable in my entire life. It has been a down hill spiral ever since using it. My nose is runny constantly. I feel like I’m going to sneeze then don’t or I sneeze 6+ times in a row. Constant pressure in my face and no sense of smell. Not to mention the fact the inside of my nose is completely raw and overly sensitive to the air. Will never recommend this to anyone. Read More Read Less

Still not sure whether it's helping or worsening some of the pain at the back of the nose. One thing I want to point out thought is that several people are negative about this medication because they say it is made in Singapore, China. SINGAPORE IS NOT IN CHINA. It is an independent state and its medications are generally very well regulated and very reliable.

Long-term nasal allergy, told to use Nasonex regularly by GP and ENT. Within 1 month I have terrible insomnia, night sweats, waking up with fast heart rate in middle of the night unable to return to sleep. Anxiety, rage, depression. 1x Panic attack for no reason, felt like I was going to faint/ die, lasted an hour. Ringing in ears. Sore ear. Pain in kidneys. Occasional neck pain and headache. Woozy/ brain-fog. Fatigue. Heart rate increased. It worked a little in helping allergies but not that much. The unlisted side effects have led me to losing my job. It's a disgrace that these symptoms are not listed as side-effects seeing as it is easy to find testimonials online that proves this this is a fairly common reaction. Overall rating minus 5-stars- My personal opinion- Do Not Use this product!!!- stick with saline wash etc.Read More Read Less

I've been on this for 15 years, using daily before going to sleep, with little (1-3 days) breaks once-twice a month. It did help me with my constantly congested nose and didn't have any substantial side effect like blurred vision etc. However, the doctor who prescribed it to me, didn't warn me that it shouldn't be used for so long. Now it's over a month I am off it and I developed a persistent sore throat condition, which will hopefully go away soon - I got checked and there are no other reasons for this. Honestly, I shouldn't have trusted my doctor and shhould've got off this a long time ago. I highly recommend to not use this for a time longer than 2 weeks. Read More Read Less

I have been using nasonex for two weeks, and it has cleared my nose minimally. I still have pressure in my head, just less blockage specifically in my nose. I would NOT RECOMMEND this product as it has given me feelings of anxiousness, and I have been unable to sleep for almost a week. At first, I thought my lifestyle was causing my anxiety and insomnia, but I am now realizing that it has ONLY started with usage of this drug. A horrible experience. Obviously Nasonex has not sufficiently monitored for side effects even though it has been on the market for years. I have never had issues with anxiety, and I cannot relay how devastating it is on my general health. I would much prefer a stuffy nose!Read More Read Less

I had been on Nasonex for years for both my allergies and my asthma. But I did have pain when swallowing, dry mouth, nose pain, nausea, coughing headaches, a severe post nasal drip, etc. but this past year the coughing and nausea got so bad I started vomiting which sometimes triggered asthma attacks or caused me to throw up all my nighttime or morning medications I had just taken! I talked to one of my doctors who suggested switching to Azelastine HCL nasal spray instead. He said the post nasal drip was most likely causing several of the symptoms, like coughing, nausea, It doesnâ??t have steroids. I saw my PCP and switched on 8/1/19 starting with 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. I started noticing a difference with a couple weeks. I was coughing less and less nauseous etc. I went back and had it increased to 2 sprays in each nostril 2x daily on 8/19/19. Within another 2 weeks I felt so much better. Most of my symptoms have disappeared. I still have some dry mouth. But I am on other meds too. The Nasonex made me jumpy and the steroids arenâ??t good for you on a long term basis. Iâ??m so happy my doctor discontinued it and put me on Azelastine! Read More Read Less

My doctor prescribed this as an off brand Flonase. I donâ??t understand why it doesnâ??t cover the same symptoms the side effects were worse. I use this medicine for one month had severe indigestion left side pains stomach aches headaches and the worst of all it states itâ??s an asthma preventive in the middle of the night it would give me severe nightmares which would wake me up with anxiety attacks and asthma attacks nightly.I Have never had them before In the middle of the night or to this extent. I have stopped using this med. itâ??s been two weeks hopefully the side effects go away soon!!!!!Read More Read Less

At my last visit to the allergist I requested something to use that I could pay with FSA funds. Flonase gave me nosebleeds but Nasacort (OTC) was working well. I waited until I was running low on Nasacort before filling this script to use. I didn't read the prescription - it was a long generic name - but I wish I had...because I would have looked before I leaped. In 5 days time my GI track has been very sluggish and bloated, not a normal problem for me. I was bloated, not hungry (still not hungry) and nauseated. Ok, fine, whatever. I had a problem like that about a year ago. Easy fix. I'd gotten an ear infection the week prior so figured the earache was due to that resurfacing - didn't think of nasal spray. Then, yesterday, I had a brief dizzy spell (I've got an excuse for that one) ... still nothing connecting. Today I've had 3 "brief" dizzy spells and started considering ENT or Neuro. I look up all of my medications eventually. I did look this one up last night - dizziness itself isn't a listed side effect ... but everything else was ... so I searched dizziness specifically - and here I am, with everyone else, having dizzy spells, nauseated, bloated, earache from maybe the infection maybe not... This was the only recent change in anything I'm ingesting. Saving the extra 3-4 dollars a month is NOT worth it.Read More Read Less

I have been using this spray for 2 weeks (I used Avamys before this which was causing me headaches as well and started Nasonex as it will be better) and started to have headaches and chest pain that was reflected on my left arm sometimes at the back. I stopped it once I read the reviews and I feel much better now but every now and then small pains coming back on both my headache and chest but not as much as before. Does anyone know when will the side effect start disappearing completely? Never experience this before. Read More Read Less

While it did help with my constant hayfever problem, unfortunately I appear to have most of the unwanted side affects too - total loss of smell and taste, headaches, red eyes, dry mouth/throat, upset tummy, diahrrea, dreadful joint swelling and pain and other symptoms I'm not sure are related to Nasonex or coincidental. Either way, I would much rather a sneezy runny nose 24/7 than these side effects! My life is hell because of this stuff. I wish I'd never used it.

Nasonex claims it is better than antihistamine. A lie. It has done nothing for me over the past three years. I am going to report their claim to Trade Practices Act as it is downright misleading advertising. Polaromine works. Nasonex doesn't. Forget it
