I've tried many allergy medications that made me drowsy or didn't work. This medication works great for my allergies. Since the first day I tried it, all my allergy symptoms were cleared up. The taste of the spray is gross, but it only lasts a few minutes. It didn't cause the drowsy effect of some antihistamines.

This spray does work better than others issue I am recognizing is after use I get very lightheaded and have noticed my blood pressure spiking by a lot. I literally jumped like 15 pts on BP after use, so be very careful if your upping your BP meds when it could be this making your pressure really bad, I plan to stop use simply to avoid taking more BP pills for no reason.

This is my go-to medication whenever I have an allergic throat. Sometimes my throat will itch so badly that I can't sleep. This takes care of it right away.

Shortly after my first dose, I experience fatigue, significant drowsiness drowsiness, body aches. Problems gradually went away. Won’t be taking it again

I just started 6 days ago-helps with congestion/headache, but makes me sleepy... will start using at night. Flonase wasn't helping much anymore.

I use Astelin if I encounter the early signs of a sinus infection (sinus pressure, runny nose, etc.) and it has been most effective in minimizing the potential for a major sinus infection occurring. I has helped tremendously in reducing the number of serious sinus infections I now have.

This is the only nasal spray that seems to work for me. At first it makes me sneeze and my nose run more for just 5 minutes about. Then I blow my nose and it's all dried up and I can go about my day. I wish I could get it over the counter since it's not a steroid. There are other nasal sprays that are steroids that they sell over the counter which make things worse in the long run.

This medication produces a foul taste and also relays that taste to food at a meal a coupe=le of hour later. When I say foul, it's so bad that this medication does not measure up.

This product worked great. HOWEVER, I used it for 3 days and wanted to scratch my skin off. I had to stop using it. 43.00 down the drain. My advice is to TRY IT. BUT, if you begin to itch. Stop immediately!!!

I was on Astepro but new insurance won't cover that and I was switched to this. I am wake up 2-3 times nightly with post nasal drip causing coughing and choking sensation.

Awesome stuff... I have tried almost everthing there is on the market over the years. I started using this when it first came on the market in 1997 and still it is the only thing that gives me relief. Mostly use at night due to the sleepness, but I can also use in the morning while drinking a cup of coffee. The caffine seems to ward off the drowiness.

It's too soon to get another Kenalog shot, so the doc put me on this stuff. Very expensive and does NOT help at all. Eyes itchy and watery, sneezing, etc. Am counting down the days until I can get another shot!

Astelin has truly been a Godsend for me. Like many others, I have suffered with VR since childhood...now over 15 years. I would have sneezing "fits" for hours that would completely drain me & I would be in bed for the next day or two. It was really debilitating at times...I know, just sneezing but it took everything out of me. Finally my doctor diagnosed the condition as VR which explained why Antihistamines were ineffective...my body was not producing any histamines for medication to block! Astelin has been 100% effective for me. I sometimes worry about the day they take it off the market! For about 6 years now, Astelin has kept my VR under control and I can function normally. I still avoid triggers like scents, smoke, etc. A note about the bad taste - my doctor taught me to look down at my toes when spraying so it does not drain straight into my throat. It works like a charm :)Read More Read Less

After a bad case of fluid buildup, lost over 50 lbs but my sinuses went out of control. Have had sinus problems my entire life and always found something otc that worked until this time. Specialist Dr. recommended Astelin. Has worked since the 2nd spray. Now back to almost normal, when warm weather comes don't need it but cold weather works better every night without skipping nights. Great stuff. Other sprays never worked at all. No side effects.

I've had a long history of sinus infections, and had 3 in 4 months recently. Have tried Claritin, Sudafed, and other nasal sprays. Claritin and Sudafed stopped working after some time and other nasal sprays had an unacceptably long-lasting bitter taste. Astelin has changed everything. I take it only at night (makes me tired) and I sleep better, have not had a single sinus infection since starting it, and I can go days without blowing my nose. Astelin's going to put Kleenex out of business. Basically, this is a great product and I highly recommend that others with sinus issues give it a try.Read More Read Less

i had used this before and stopped due to sneezing fits. i ran out of my other nasal spray,so i went back to using this one. again, terrible sneezing fits. now, by the 3rd use...i can barely bend my upper body or neck due to severe pain from the last sneezing fit. i feel like i pulled a muscle or pinched a nerve in my chest/back/lower neck from the severe sneezing. came to research side effects/problems caused by this spray. i am in serious pain and will have to seek medical treatment if it persists tomorrow. can't believe this was caused by a nasal spray. very painful, dangerous and rather scary to think this could have happened. it's been almost 12 hours and yet the pain is unbelievable...all from a sneeze induced by this spray.Read More Read Less
