I began using Nasalcrom many years ago, before it became OTC. I also used the cromolyn sodium inhaler for asthma until it became unavailable. Surprisingly the Nasalcrom proved reasonably effective at controlling the asthma as well as the rhinitis! Not only that, but it seems to be protective as far as respiratory infections.

I haven't had a cold in years, despite having a prior history of annual infections, and plenty of exposure.

For several years I would get a cough if it was cold outside or have a little trouble breathing with fireplace smoke in the air. This last year for 7-8 months I had coughing, colds, post nasal drip, etc.that did not go away. I clean houses and knew this was part of the trigger. Also, cold air, smoke and sometimes exercise but never this bad.I couldn't even sing... I knew I had mild allergies to mold and dust, etc. I started to get wheezing,coughing and finally my doctor heard me wheezing. She said I had Cough variant asthma. She put me on 2 different inhalers as well as Azelastine and then Flonase. I kept having a bleeding nose, etc. so I stopped the flonase. My friend is a nurse and she told me to keep taking the inhalers until I was better. Lungs take time to heal so I listened so it would not become a chronic thing. As I got better I told my doctor I wanted to get off medicine and I tapered down. I then happened across Nasalcrom at a local pharmacy. I read up on it and thought let me try it. There were almost no side effects listed compared to Flonase, etc. I stopped the flonase and started Nasalcrom. The relief was not immediate but I can say now I am off all medications.I took the Nasalcrom on a regular basis for about a month and a half and now I take it when I am going to work outside in garden, etc. I am so happy. I just came through a cold and made sure I kept taking the Nasalcrom. I also do the saline nasal wash twice a day from Neilmed (think that is the name) I buy it at Costco. The Nasalcrom I buy from Amazon. This is the cheapest place. Nasalcrom kept the post nasal drip in check so it did not become worse going down into my chest... setting up a respiratory nightmare. Yeh!

I spent years suffering from seasonal allergies; first congestion, then total blockage, then bronchitis, then possibly pneumonia. I spent years taking multiple drugs, including nasal cortisone, anti histamines, decongestents, etc etc. Now Nasalcrom is ALL I use or need! And by the way, ZERO side effects!!

You have to use your head to make it work best: start it a couple weeks before hay fever season, 3-4 times a day, then at least a couple times a day after that; adjust as needed. NOTHING like the misery of nasal sprays like Afrin! TOTALY WORTH IT!!

Have been using over spring and summer with mostly positive results. However, now in the fall, I've started getting the "stuffy nose syndrome" again and wonder if there are only certain allergens it works to stop?

Best allergy drug by far. Everyone who uses it loves it. But doctors don't seem to push it because drug companies push doctors to push the ones that bring in the big money, which Nasalcrom doesn't. Shame on the allergists!!
