Nasonex over counter substitute

Common Questions and Answers about Nasonex over counter substitute

nasonex

Avatar n tn It is considered an OTC med or over the counter and the changes of it damaging your heart are slim to none so relax a little. These residual effects i am sure will lessen as each day passes but it was a good lesson for you and now it seems like you know what not to do. If you are having probs. w. allergys you need to call the doc and see if there is something that he/she can recommend to you that will be safer for your system. It is just simply your body rebeling against what you put in it.
Avatar f tn Hi and welcome.
Avatar n tn I'm a generic guy and used for the last year a nasal spray Fluticasone Propionate - I think it is a generic version of one of those expensive patented sprays. Even generic it cost over $20 for a month's supply. I have used it twice a day for many days in a row, then not at all, then back again. I suffer from chronic congestion at night, when lying down to sleep.
Avatar f tn After internet research finally tried using Nasonex and that seems to be the only thing that helps, usually it helps, and usually it helps the most if I use it soon enough with the start of symptoms. New development in last 3 weeks. After several airplane trips and ears not clearing after the 3rd trip, and a lot of fullness in the ear, (symptoms not as usual...not nearly as painful, but full and uncomfortable.
Avatar m tn A nasal steroid spray is also beneficial as well as oral steroids. Nasal saline irrigations over the counter like NeilMed or Neti pot are very effective, but worsen Eustachian tube dysfunction (water in the ears or feeling of fullness in the ears). The best diagnosis for this problem is a CT of the sinuses. Surgery is recommended to patients that fail maximal medical treatment. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn Fungal infections also come up whenever there is moisture or temperature difference and Tinea versicolor can cause whole body itch. Over the counter antihistamines help and should be taken immediately. Calamine lotions and other over the counter preparations with camphor/menthol do help to reduce the itch. Try a soft cotton ball dipped in cool water applied over the itchy areas instead.
Avatar f tn I also take Zyrtec (an over-the-counter antihistamine) or Benadryl. Advair has a good PR program, with side effects given short shrift.
Avatar f tn Might could try zyrtec once daily especially during allergy season, as it is now over the counter. Some people find good results with nasal saline. It is inexpensive, shouldnt cause rebound. I would at least follow up with your doc for a recheck to make sure nothing else is going on. PS..elevate the head of your bed about 4 to 6 inches. May give some relief. Best of luck to you.
Avatar n tn They are to be taken on prescription. You can use an over-the-counter (OTC) decongestant combined with an anti-inflammatory analgesic (pain reliever) like Ibuprofen. However, you should not use decongestants for more than 5-7 days at a time. Symptoms can also be relieved by using a saline nasal spray or a nasal spray that contains corticosteroids. Corticosteroids work by helping to reduce inflammation and congestion. The golden rule for chronic stuffy nose is steam inhalation.
531684 tn?1216745984 Now, I can tell you, it has been four years since I stopped that drug, and every winter since, and other times after using Nasonex during 2007, when the air gets dry, I loose over five pints of blood, and don't tell me that's all the blood we have, because it was measured in a bag in the ER! It appears that my sinuses are PERMANENTLY DAMAGED!!!! I keep getting told that I should file a class action lawsuit against Nasonex!
Avatar f tn Anyone have experience with any over the counter depression medicine that works well?
Avatar f tn Nasalcort has now gone over the counter. I like nasonex and my doctor usually has samples. I am allergic to everything even my cat who sleeps with me.
Avatar n tn For the most part, both medications have resolved his symptoms. I did notice over the last year he has been moodier/yells at us/crys over little things - but attributed to his age.

29837 tn?1414534648 Recently I went to an eye, ear, nose specialist who prescribed Nasonex. Anyone have any success with it? I say that because I tried it now for two days with no effect. Do I need to try it longer? Anyone?
Avatar f tn I was on nasonex spray prn or I take 1 puff each nose at times for few years= 4 years. Now I noticed hair thinning and loss. I have stopped the nasonex now. Will my hair grow back as usual? I am so worried. Iam not taking any other medication. But on hair supplements- zinc, vitamin E and multivitamin. Started my hair massage!
Avatar n tn wanted to know if there is a substitute over the counter librium chlordiazepoxide
Avatar m tn I was paying $135 or so for Nasonex, which I thought was ridiculously expensive at the time. When Flonase became an OTC product, I thought Nasonex would become cheaper. That's what competition is supposed to do. But noooooo... I went to CVS today and the price was $218 for Nasonex. That is a total ripoff... Why did the price go up? So what's the difference between Merck, the manufacturer, and a robber with a gun on the street? Answer: The gun. Merck robs you without using a gun.
Avatar n tn t helped. We are desperate to find a solution to this excess mucus. None of the over the counter mucus relief drugs helps either. If anyone has any ideas, please post them. This is a very distracting problem, and he needs help!
Avatar m tn s all used up because it has a steroid in it. Is there any effective substitute available over the counter that I could use?
Avatar f tn I am not a doctor, but it could be BPPV. You could try some Meclizine 25 mg. (Dramamine, over the counter), and see if it helps. Also, you could go online and check out the Epley Maneuver and try doing the exercises for "at Home". You can ryt some Brandt/Daroff exercises, or something like that also. Hope you feel better.
Avatar m tn My name is Kimberly, I am 40 years old. About 7 years ago I was treated with Nasonex in conjunction with a cpap machine for my sleep apnea. After that every time I bent over water would pour out of one side of nose. At first I thought it was blood, but it was the exact consitency of water. I stooped using the nasonex and the cpap ueats ago. This has happened off and on for years.About 6 months ago I noticed the drip was back, as well as occasional water out of my ears.
Avatar m tn take somthing for inflamation because most of the time the nose can just be swollen and appear to be stuffy and then you can take some over the counter medicine for mucus. I would also try getting some nasonex.
Avatar f tn I went away for the weekend and forgot to pack my Advair, is there an over the counter medication I can take if necessary?
Avatar n tn It is good idea to go and consult a ENT specialist or a neurophysican and get evaluated. Till then, take over the counter pain medications and Alprozolam orally for sometime till your doctor treats you. Take care.
Avatar f tn I will suggest you to take light food and adequate rest. You may try taking an over the counter antacid for symptomatic relief. If the symptoms are severe and persistent it is suggested to see a doctor and get examined. This is merely an advice and not a substitute for clinical examination. I sincerely hope it helps. Best luck and regards!
Avatar f tn I have a cold an taking no medicine is killing me. Is there Any over the counter meds I can take?
