nasonex and nasacort

I had an operation three years ago for Polyps. After the operation my consultant prescribed me "Nasacort" nasal spray to delay the return of the polyps. My local surgery has now informed me that they have "rationalised" the medicines they prescribe and have changed my prescription to a generic version of Beconase. My concerned is that although these products belong to a similar genre they do not contain the same active ingredient and are therefore not the same.

Hi, 'If you have one or more small polyps, your doctor is likely to prescribe a corticosteroid nasal spray such as fluticasone (Flonase), triamcinolone (Nasacort), budesonide (Rhinocort), flunisolide (Nasarel) or mometasone (Nasonex). These medications relieve inflammation, increase nasal airflow and may help shrink polyps.' 'Treatment for nasal polyps may also involve surgery. When medications aren't effective, your doctor may recommend removing your polyps.

I've tried saline drops, but that's mostly to keep my nose moist in this arid climate, so dry it causes nose bleeds. I have prescription Nasacort, I use Nasalcrom when Nasacort doesn't work - which is often, but Nasalcrom also often doesn't work - and I use a eucalyptus/menthol spray, which feels good and seems to work. My doctor prescribed Nasonex (he uses it himself, and I've read it's stronger), but I'm leery because it's expensive like Nasacort and may not work any better.

Nose bleeds are a common side effect so a different brand may help better. Others are ayamys, nasacort, or nasonex, plus many others. Nasal rinsing using a neti pot or neil med sinus rinse may also help flush out anything that is in your sinuses and there is a much lower risk of bleeding since there is no medication, it's just pure saline.

They put me on steriods, two inhalers, Acciphex, Singular, Nasonex, and anit-biotics. Ive taking the medicine since Thursday and nothing has been working. My symptoms are tight chest, more than usualy hotness on chest, cant inhale fully- feels restricted when taking a deep breath, dizziness, fatigued. Not sure if anyone else out there has had this or knows what this might be because Im very tired of having this. Have had it for 2 months now and it has fully restricted my active lifestyle.

Dear Doc, I have allergic asthma as my physician told me(I usually take Nasonex, but with the cold weather, it hasn't provided any relief). Yesterday I felt worse than usual and I thought it was just one of those "one day flu's" that I sometimes get since I have allergies. But my throat is dry, mucus is constantly draining down the back of my throat from my nose, my nasal passages and my lymph nodes are swollen 24/7.

My ENT tried me on several different sprays to keep the turbinate in my right nostril tamed down (I tend to only get stuffy in my right side.) Flonase gave me bad chronic headaches. Nasonex occasionally combined with Astelin worked pretty well but I developed nasal bleeding after long term use of the Nasonex.

I'm on 4,000mg of amoxacillin a day ( if I take zithromax i have to take 3 courses in a row, biaxin-same, tequin-2 courses and that's just about the last stop before cipro, I wasn't joking when I said I don't get colds, I get siiiiccck!!!) I'm on nasonex and nasacort, giufenex, and vicoprofen for that damn headache I always seem to get once a month. Road2recovery and I traded pics earlier this morn. Pretty huh? And her girls are absolutely GORGEOUS!!! xoxo- D.

I have taken Rhinocort, Nasacort, Nasonex, Flo-nase, albuterol inlaler, Xopenex inhaler, Allegra, Zyrtec, allegra- D, Clairitin, Clarinex, Mucofin, Mucofin-D, Mucinex, Mucinex-D, Expectorant store brands etc.etc.....And the whole acid-reflux thing, thats just a shot in the dark. I have had that and it is nothing even close. Nothing worked. I have recently been readin up on Aurveda. Indian medicine. I dont know much yet - but they seem to be on the right track.

The cause of these symptoms is a eustachian tube that remains abnormally open, allowing too much and then too little passage of air to the middle ear space when you breathe. Decongestants, nasal steroids (rhinocort, flonase, nasonex, beconase, etc), nasal saline irrigation washes can all help this problem. Are any of these treatments ones that your doctor is using?

I went to an ENT who ran sinus CT Scan which came up mostly negative aside slight mucus build up. A touch to the forontal passages and my ears want to explode. Aside from daily doses of Nasonex, which don't appear to be working is there I went to another general doctor who ran blood test, carotid doppler test, ekg head CT scan of the head which all came back negative.

If you cannot use Afrin what about one of the nasal sprays that are prescription like Flonase or Nasacort . I know they are steroids but for use when ill may work .. they do help my daughters with severe allergies. There is an otc called NasalCrom I believe that is non-steroidal. I thought it was "just me" and the cold meds, etc. Whew, sorry to hear your posting.

This sounds like seasonal allergic rhinitis. It is usually fixed with a nasal spray like nasonex or nasacort. You need to request to be refered to an allergy specialist. That type of doctor will help.

I TALKED TO MY DOCTOR ABOUT IT BUT HE DOESNT SEEM CONCERNED.. I AM USING NASONEX, CLARITIN, ADVAIR, SINGULAR FOR MY ALLERGIES AND ASTHMA. I ALSO TAKE CELEBREX AND ZOLOFT. NOW I CANT SMELL AT ALL NOT EVEN AFTER ANTIBIOTICS OR STEROID MEDS. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING. I HAVE ASTHMA AND CANT TELL IF I AM SMELLING SOMETHING THAT WOULD IRRITATE ME. I CANT SMELL IF THERE IS A FIRE OR SOMETHING BURNING...ANYONE OUT THERE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND DID YOU FIND SOMETHING TO FIX IT...

I found that my dizziness was directly related to the amount of pressure I felt in my sinuses, and that the further along I got in my shots, the less pressure I felt and the better I felt. I also started using Nasonex, which I believe helped also. I stopped taking allergy shots 6 months ago, and recently have started feeling the dizziness again. I got a pretty bad cold last weekend, and have been VERY dizzy.

also take lots of benadryl and use nasacort daily....tested slightly allergic to lots of foods, but I would have to give up eating altogether if I eliminated all of them! potatoes, chicken, pork, rice, wheat, sheesh..there would be nothing left...so I just muddle through....used to do allergy shots...gave up on that **** after over 20 years...

Was using Nasonex for nasal congestion. Congestion is really worse at night when I am lying flat. Cannot sleep without spraying a decongestant. I was beginning to get repeated sinus infections so I saw another Allergy specialist for second opinion . Since I have GERD he started me on Omniprazole 40 mg twice a day and gave me antibiotics fro 45 days which really cleared my sinus infections. I breathed better after a long time. He also did the same spirometry (which was normal).

Initially, this is how it all seemed to start as well w/a cold turning into an infection. I am on Nasacort and I do take allergy shots b/c I do have allergies. I have tried Astelin but it seems to make my nose really really dry. I've been on allergy shots since 2005. when I lay down at night I sleep on my right side to keep my left turbinate from swelling up like a balloon and smothering me. Sometimes I can feel the bubbles pop in my nose when the turbinate swells...

Allegra (which should be coming out over-the-counter soon), nasal steroid sprays (Flonase, Nasonex, Rhinocort, Nasacort, Veramyst), and Singulair. Astelin is an antihistamine nasal spray. Different people respond differently to each of these medications, so it’s important to talk to your doctor about which one may be right for you.

I went back to the allergist (same one, my mistake) and he prescribed me advair which just made me jittery and Nasonex. No help with these either. I finally tried another Allergist and he ruled out asthma. Now I am taking Protonix (similar to Nexium) for GERD. Apparently GERD can and does cause asthma. I found several articles on it. http://www.webmd.com/content/article/26/1728_59778.

I didn't get my cysts removed - I was told to 'blast it' with antibiotics and a steroid nasal spray (Nasonex - one of the best apparently), which I did and it seemed to work. However I was really ill for 9 months (April-Dec) and am still battling to get there some days. A lot of my symptoms have disappeared. I am still left with memory problems, fatigue (although not as bad) and hearing problems. I never did get to that ENT - they cancelled my appointment and so I never made another one.

I just finished the antibiotics and I still feel the same as I did when I first went to him in July. He had me on amoxicillin plus Astelin. I have tried Nasacort, Zyrtec, Claritin, Alavert, etc.... no relief. I am a computer programmer and I can't function like this anymore. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks.

Some of the people I have spoken with say that nebulizers have given them their lives back. Apparently a combination of Astelin, Atrovent, and Rhinocort/Flonase/Nasonex used in a nebulizer can work wonders for this condition. It is my understanding that the mix of medications is turned into a fine mist that you breathe in through your nose for roughly ten minutes. I think that the theory is that this method delivers the medication to areas that nasal sprays miss.

I was given an antibiotic for the congestion and was sent home with Nasacort to use twice a day. After the treatment of congestion, it helped and I followed up in 2 weeks. I still continued to have problems mostly complaining of dry air. I was asked about my allergies. I went to get tested and it turns out I was allergic to dust mites, both kinds. But I believe only mildly.

My house is so clean there is not one ounze of dog or cat hair and my car is clean also. I starting taking nasacort, sudafed and he gave me an inhaler. Nothing works. I have shortness of breath, I can't hardly breath. I am so depressed and tired I can hardly go to work . I am experiencing the same things as you.

It got better for a few weeks but last week I began to have dizzy spells again, this time accompanied by maxillary sinus pressure. I had just switched allergy medications, from Nasonex to generic Flonase, right at the time my symptoms returned. Could allergies have led to a sinus infection? Can the sinus infection cause dizziness and fatigue? Due to the holiday weekend I haven't been able to call my doctor, but after 3 prior visits he's never suggested sinuses to be a cause.

I seriously have been dizzy/off balance for nearly 3 years now!!! I've had it! I've seen my ENT six times and my family physician several times regarding this issue and I've also had several heart tests done. AND I just had a miserable dizziness test done a couple of weeks ago. All tests show normal. Both doctors say it's "nothing" and I'm on Nasacort, which doesn't do a darn thing. What the hell is causing my dizziness???
