Nasonex success stories:
Success stories for Nasonex
I have been using Nasonex for years. I was having allergy problems and trying different drugs like nasonex spray without success. The doctor could not believe the amount of polyps he saw in my nose. After taking nasonex and deconamine for a short time I saw him again and he couldn’t believe how well the polyps had responded. They were gone. This combination of nasonex and meds had worked well for me for almost 15 years now.
This drug, in addition to being the most expensive drug per volume I have even been on, has an effectiveness of nearly zero. Basically, Nasonex drug is useless and should be avoided at all costs. Drinking water helps more than this drug. The bottom line: Nasonex is horrible (but very easy to use).
Nasonex – find it easy to use in the spray bottle with no adverse side-effects. Effectiveness is okay. What I find to be most effective is using a saline spray to clean the nasal passage prior to using the Nasonex.
