    I have the worst allergies and I didn’t know I needed to take it every day. I thought I only had to use it when needed. Thanks so much! I’ll make more of a routine of it and hope that helps clear up my symptoms. I constantly have to blow my nose or I itch all over or I have eye allergies and I do have a separate prescription for that and also for the nose. So I’ll take it daily from now on instead of waiting until it gets that bad.

    Are these safe to take while breastfeeding? Will it affect my supply?

    Was not aware i had to use nasal sprays for *the entire season*.
    Right now I've been using flonase consistently everyday for almost a month. Though I'm seeing improvement, progress is much slower than i would like. Looks like i have long ways to go.
    By the way: as per my allergist, avoid nasal decongestant sprays, i.e. Afrin, like the plague

    Flonase gives me terrible headaches and actually made my stuffy nose worse and that is a week of daily use. I'll try the Rhinocort and see what happens.

      To see good results you should keep applying

      Did the Rhinocort work for you? Neither Flonase nor Nasacort worked for me, but Rhinocort did. Actually, Rhinocort had been discontinued, but I use the Walgreens brand of the same thing (budesonide).

      ​@@lf9341Didn't work for me. And it's actually not a steroid spray. It's cromolyn sodium, which supposedly prevents mast cells from causing the inflammatory reaction that causes the sinus congestion. It also sucks that you have to use it 3 or 4 times a day. But even using it that often didn't prevent my sinus congestion from returning.

    I tried nasal powder one time it didn't get rid of my allergies but it gave me loss of energy

    Which one is safe for "medicine sensitive" individuals???

    • @thedude2897
      @thedude2897 5 лет назад

      None because they all contain steroids.

      No, they do not. It's the nasal decongestant sprays such as Afrin that can cause rebound congestion. Steroid sprays are not decongestants, although they do indirectly decongest your sinus passages. They are anti-inflammatory and won't cause rebound congestion since they don't work the same way as the decongestant sprays do

      No, the medicine will enter your lungs instead of staying where it was intended. A light inhale after pumping to keep it in desired area is best.

    These have many Side effects and THE one I AM SCARED of is cataract in YOUR EYES

    • @billyc768
      @billyc768 7 месяцев назад +1

      Not very likely with steroid sprays. It's mainly the oral steroids such as prednisone that are more likely to cause cataracts, as well as other serious side effects.
