I have had 3 sinus operations. All allergy tests show negative. However, I've been suffering with a runny nose, leaky, itchy eyes & congestion for years. This medication is the closest thing to recovery for me. It's like a miracle. It only lasts 6 hours but I take it twice a day & my life is much more manageable now. I no longer snort uncontrollably. Now if I could find something to help my eyes, ...
This medication has failed me in many ways: 1st, it is completely ineffective and every time I use it I loose my sense of taste, smell and my motivation to get off the couch. Everything I used to eat no longer tastes good so now, the only things I can stomach are ice cream, cookies, cake, potato chips and french-fries. After only 6 months of use I have gained nearly 70 lbs. 2nd, it is impossible t...

My nose no longer runs, however, I have some unpleasant side-effects: my nose often itches fiercely for several hours, shortly after using; my nose is dry; and my sense of taste is altered so that some things (salad greens, for example) taste unpalatably bitter, and I want to eat mostly sweets. Worst of all, my vision is already affected by another medication I take (totally unrelated, and the only other med I use), and I'm concerned that the nasal spray may have compounded the problem. I may have to give this up except for special occasion meals.Read More Read Less

I have idiopathic rhinitis, my nose runs all the time, this spray is effective, the only negative i see is it gives me a sinus headache and makes me a bit too dry. I am going to try it for a bit longer to make sure its the spray giving me a headache. It does dry up the nose though, did not change my taste

Forever I have had a runny nose, drip drip all the time. Allergy testing proved I had no allergies. The runny nose was also causing my eye to be red most of the time as well. Finally went back in to see an ENT and he diagnosed me with Vasomotor Rhinitis,basically a runny nose for no reason and put me on this spray at the 06% strength every 12 hours. It stopped the problem immediately!! & now no more red eyes either!! So happy with this drug, it's a wonder drug after all these years of hiding tissues and trying to explain away red eyes.

My 6 year old has been on several medications over the last 4 years for asthma. I noticed a year ago a runny nose seemed to always trigger a severe barking cough. An ENT put him on this as needed and now he ia off all other medications and we use this as needed for a runny nose. He says no change in taste or any other symptoms I have seen.

I was having sinus issues with inflammation and severe cough from post nasal drip. This relieved the stuffiness and dripping and lessened the severity of my cough. YIPE, something that works.

This worked on the first use and is very effective for me. It only lasts 6 hours though - I could set a clock to it - but there have been no adverse side effects. Prior to using this, I had a very embarrassing runny nose.

Continue to experience runny nose after approx. 6 hours. Think my dosage should be stronger than 0.03.
