Comment:
I've been suffering with allergies my entire life. Usually the sneezing, congestion and "cloudy" feeling happen so quickly. Unfortunately nasal steroids would never give me the fast relief I NEEDED. Astelin works within minutes and lasts, which gives me the confidence to use it when I need it! I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for fast and effective relief

I was dissapointed at first, cause the relief was not immediate, but now i see why its popular. taken regularly, it has decreased sneezing, and itchy-watery eyes almost completely. it makes me just a little tired, so i take it at night.

Comment:
As was the case with one of the other users in this list, I get sneezing fits every time I try it. The sneezing starts a minute or two after application, and lasts for another minute or two. By the time I'm done sneezing I'm sure there's none if it left in my nose, so it's no big surprise that it didn't help me be able to breathe.

After years of suffering and trying various antihistamines and prescriptions my doctor prescribed Astelin. I've had almost immediate relief with no side effects. Relief at last!

Comment:
This product has done wonders for me. Now, it does make me drowsy and I only use it at night before I go to bed. But I have been able to sleep throughout the night with out waking up with a stuffy nose. It's fast and effective. I have found that when I spray it in my nose and lean over to let the med to into my nasal cavity, I don't get the drainage into my throat.
