I suffer from severe allergies year round and have been prescribed all the most popular medicines. Nasacort has been the only one to really clear up my sinuses. Its an amazing drug. Published: October 06, 2007 ::

i have been using Nasacort AQ for several years now due to inflammed, red nasal passages from my allergies. it has worked to keep my tissues moist without a runny nose plus no more stuffiness. also, it's easy to use. Published: November 24, 2007 ::

Comment from: Mack, 55-64 Male on Treatment for 1-2 years (Patient)

When examined for sleep apnea, my doctor gave me a sample. It helped clear up a lot of my post-nasal drip. Helped cut down on my snoring. Also, allergies don't bother me. I used to get the bleary eyes, where you could not focus. Have not had that problem since I began using Nasacort AQ. Published: August 05, 2008 ::

I have tried many medications both oral and nasal for allergy related inflammation. The one big problem I noticed, and it took me while to single it out was not to take it before bedtime. It makes it very difficult even with sleep aids to go down. Published: March 29, 2008 ::

I tend to suffer from sinus infections because something about the shape of my sinuses doesn't allow for proper drainage, thus the bacterial buildup & resulting infection. This spray has gotten rid of an infection for me without the use of antibiotics! I don't use it daily, but when I feel like my allergies or sinuses are acting up I'll use it 2 or 3 times and usually it takes care of the problem. I know the literature says it doesn't work immediately, but I get quick results. Can't really talk about side effects because I don't use it daily. If you have allergies that cause sinus complications, give it a try! Published: February 08, 2008 ::

Quite effective for allergy relief, but the side effects are a major disincentive. Be prepared for a scratchy throat that always feels like it needs to be cleared and a rougher voice. In addition, it caused my voice to break far more than usual. Published: June 30, 2008 ::

Comment from: Sophie, 35-44 Female on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

Whilst this medication has proven to be the most effective for me, the side effects are terrible. Severe head pain and nauseousness had me thinking that I had some sort of brain tumor or something until I visited my doctor. Unfortunately, I had to stop using it. Published: November 21, 2007 ::

Comment from: 45-54 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

This cleared up the pain and nasty post nasal drip in my sinuses, but the side effects are significant. Screaming headache and my eye constantly twitches. Muscle and joint pain, particularly in my hands, wrist and jaw. I will not use this med anymore. Published: February 04, 2009 ::

Comment from: 25-34 Male on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

I've been on antihistamines and decongestants for over 20 years for allergies, in the last couple months after starting this daily I've sneezed on average less then once a day and can't recall having a runny nose. I've had no problems with burning or bloody nose but you need to make sure you get it up into the sinuses or it can burn if sprayed too low in your nostrils. Published: July 14, 2008 ::
