NASAREL PATIENT REVIEWS / RATINGS / COMMENTS

Nasarel review by 56 year old female patient
		Rating
Overall rating:
Effectiveness:		Highly Effective
Side effects:		No Side Effects
		Treatment Info
Condition / reason:		rhinitis
Dosage & duration:		1 spray per nostril, 29 mcg flunisolide (dosage frequency: every day, once per day) for the period of 5 years
Other conditions:		none
Other drugs taken:		none
		Reported Results
Benefits:		Prior to using this spray, I had year round nasal problems: unable to breathe out of one or both nostrils. The symptoms were particularly bad during the summer, and whenever I was in a laying down position. The symptoms greatly interfered with my sleep. When using this spray on a regular basis, my nostrils are completely clear most of the time, and I have minimal nasal problems during my allergy season.
Side effects:		None
Comments:		I believe the recommended dose is two sprays per nostril twice a day. I found that a "maintenance" level of only one spray per nostril each day on works for me.
