| Effectiveness: | | Considerably Effective |
| Side effects: | | Moderate Side Effects | | |
Treatment Info |
| Condition / reason: | | congested sinuses |
| Dosage & duration: | | metered spray (dosage frequency: 2 sprays per nostril, 2 times per day) for the period of 1 year |
| Other conditions: | | none |
| Other drugs taken: | | decongestants | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | Traeatment with Nasonex was effective at controlling some of my congestion before sinus surgery and all of it after surgery. The treatment also controlled my allergies to cats and dogs as a bonus! I stayed 4 days at a freinds house with a dog and was without sneezing and stuffiness, however my asthma was still an issue. |
| Side effects: | | Immediate side effects that I noticed were with my immune system. I got sick (colds and upper respiratory infections) more easily and I had one bug bite that became infected and took a long time to heal. I also noticed that I put on a few pounds (2-3) but am not sure if that is related or not. |
| Comments: | | Began treatment with spray before sinus surgery and continued after surgery. 6 months after surgery, the spray was stopped. |

| Effectiveness: | | Highly Effective |
| Side effects: | | No Side Effects | | |
Treatment Info |
| Condition / reason: | | congestion |
| Dosage & duration: | | 2 sprays 2 times a day (dosage frequency: 2times every day) for the period of 6 months |
| Other conditions: | | sneezing |
| Other drugs taken: | | none | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | Able to breath at night, less sneezing. I woke up with less nasal stufiness and felt clear headed. I also appreciated the moisturizing glycerin in Nasonex. I have a extremely dry nasal mucosa so there was definitely a benefit to that. |
| Side effects: | | Did not have any side effects and I felt extremely good during the allergy season. I actually enjoyed the moisterizing glycerin in my nose. |
| Comments: | | Use in the morning and evening in the spring allergy season. Continue to use even if symptoms disapear and 2 to 4 weeks prior to full blown allergy symptoms. |

| | Nasonex review by care giver of 16 year old male patient | | | Rating |
| Overall rating: | | |
| Effectiveness: | | Highly Effective |
| Side effects: | | Mild Side Effects | | |
Treatment Info |
| Condition / reason: | | allergies |
| Dosage & duration: | | 50 mcg (dosage frequency: 2 sprays daily) for the period of Daily-continuous |
| Other conditions: | | headaches |
| Other drugs taken: | | ibuprophen | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | My son suffered from headaches that would really affect his daily activities. He was prescribed the Nasonex to control his allergies and reduce his sinus symptoms that may have been contributing to his headaches. After about 2 weeks of daily use of the nasonex, his headaches were occurring siginificantly less often and he felt much relief. He was able to reduce his use of ibuprofen which I was really glad for because I worried that he may have rebound headaches from over-use of ibuprofen. I also worried that he may develop an ulcer from using the NSAID's so frequently. He was also able to get a better nights sleep. That improved his performance at school and his general energy level. Previously he was always tired during the day, after he started taking the nasonex continuously, as directed, he felt more energetic, and had many less headaches, too. |
| Side effects: | | At first, the nasal spray was a little irritating to the nose, and he would sneeze after the administration. He just didn't like the spray into his nose. He stuck with it and after about 5 days, it didn't bother him anymore. other than that, we have not noticed any negative side effects of the medication. |
| Comments: | | He takes the nasal spray in the morning and at night-2 sprays each. It controls his allergies and he no longer suffers from the sinus headaches that were interfering with his life on a daily basis. |
