Flonase, itself, is great! I did have to use it into a second 120 count bottle, and I am only able to use half of a 120 count bottle, before the pump stops working, but it did start working for me, once I was able to have a full 120 count amount used.

The pump does not allow me to use it to its fullest. The pump is 'iffy' as to whether or not it will work and by the time I have used half of the bottle, the pump stops working, completely. I am on a third bottle and half way through the Flonase and the pump has stopped working, yet again. That means, I pay for a full 120 count bottle but I am only able to use half of a bottle. This has taken place with all bottles, I have purchased.

I am currently searching for something else, simply because I hate having to pay such a price, only to be able to use half of my purchase.

For me, it didn't seem to do any good. I used it for months, on my doctor's advice, and i couldn't tell any difference in my hay fever symptoms. I discontinued it, and didn't notice any increase in them either.

Original Flonase is well-documented here and elsewhere and is well respected. My allergist specifically recommended it, saying not to waste time with anything else. There are a couple of things about it that may not be common knowledge. One is that, unlike most similar products, it actually stops allergens from entering the nasal passage rather than just deal with them after the fact. That is supposedly what makes it so effective. The other thing to know is that because of how it works it can take up to 3 months for the body to realize its full effectiveness. Based on these facts and my own personal success with using the product I believe it earns 5-stars.

But what if it was better? What if it didn't get the inside of your nose so wet? What if it didn't have that scent? What if you didn't have to stick that nozzle so deep into your nose and pump so hard?

The same allergist introduced me to the new Sensimist version recently as an improved version. It apparently has all of the same benefits but is scent-free and sprays a fine no-drip mist from a shorter nozzle.

I've compared the two and agree that it is an improvement, with the addition of a rounder more portable bottle that doesn't leak in a pocket or purse.

[NEW INFORMATION] since I posted this I've talked to a top allergist who advised me that I was spraying the product wrong. The proper way is to spray against the outside walls of the nasal cavity, not directly into the cavity. She also gave me a tip about how to know how much is left in the bottle. Rather than tear the label off (which she discouraged in case there is a recall or adverse reaction) she said to simply hold the bottle horizontally with the green cover removed and the tip pointing at a window or bright light. You will be able to easily see the pump tube and know which way to hold it to get the most use out of the contents.

This nasal spray really stops the alergic reactions i have to all the blooming things here in Florida. Read the side affects. Thwre are many, but not for constant use.

Best stuffy nose remedy out there. I struggle with the cost so tried several different products but ended up coming back to this one. I can breath through my nose again.
