Side effects:: Nosebleed (epistaxis)

Date: May 27, 2012
Advice & Tips: The Flonase nasal spray is only effective for stuffiness within the nose itself, it does nothing for any sinus congestion you have and even one additional squirt of it always gives me a nose bleed the next day. I'm happy the Astelin nasal spray provides very effective sinus congestion relief and the generic (Azelastine HCI) is as effective as the brand name drug.
Cost: $50-99 monthly

Date: Apr 13, 2011
Advice & Tips: I switched back to my prescribed dosage, because my sinuses are better, with the result that there is no more bleeding.
Cost: $50-99 monthly

Date: Apr 08, 2011
Advice & Tips: Today's bleed lasted about 10 minutes and it was more blood than I've ever had bleed previously.
Cost: $50-99 monthly

Date: Apr 10, 2010
Advice & Tips: My nose only bleeds when I exceed the recommended dosage and it seems to be coming from the sinuses, not from the nose tissue.
Cost: $50-99 monthly

Date: Feb 09, 2009
Advice & Tips: The bleeding occurs with the first nose blowing or when I clean out my sinuses first.
Cost: $50-99 monthly

Date: Nov 07, 2008
Advice & Tips: My sinus are immediately open, breathing is much easier.
Cost: $50-99 monthly

Side effects:: Oral thrush (candidiasis)

Date: Feb 17, 2011
Advice & Tips: Flovent gave me a bad case of oral thrush, but it was the best choice allowed by my former insurance plan.
Cost: < $25 monthly

Date: Oct 18, 2010
Advice & Tips: This causes mouth thrush (Candidiasis of the oral cavity), so I only use it when my asthma is very severe. That is when the rescue spray becomes ineffective or I'm forced to use it too often.
Cost: < $25 monthly
