NASACORT PATIENT REVIEWS / RATINGS / COMMENTS

Nasacort review by 68 year old male patient
		Rating
Overall rating:
Effectiveness:		Considerably Effective
Side effects:		No Side Effects
		Treatment Info
Condition / reason:		perennial rhinitis
Dosage & duration:		2sprays ea. nostril once dail (dosage frequency: 2/3times weekly) for the period of 10 yrstd
Other conditions:		chronic headaches
Other drugs taken:		vicodin
		Reported Results
Benefits:		nasacort eliminates stuffiness if taken at the proper times and right dosages. i have been advised by medical professionals that first administering over the counter med. such as AFRIN (once)clears the passages first... then, when nasacort is applied the stuffiness is relieved for a longer period of time.. i find this to be true
Side effects:		if overapplied sneezing and runny nose occurs with frequency
Comments:		with nasacort it is usually taken on a daily or semi dailhy basis. if applied correctly i can go two weeks without using this very expensive medicine. Vicodin is only taken when i experience headaches which i am told has nothing to do with my perenniel rhinitis... It works best if I take it as soon as i experience the apparent signs of a headache.. then, i don't usually have to continue taking it at the prescribed dosages of every 4 to six hours.. i have been taking vicodin or the generic for more than 10 years...i do not take in at night because it seems to cause insomnia.
