    I've tried many allergy medications that made me drowsy or didn't work. This medication works great for my allergies. Since the first day I tried it, all my allergy symptoms were cleared up. The taste of the spray is gross, but it only lasts a few minutes. It didn't cause the drowsy effect of some antihistamines.

    I have used this drug for almost 4 years now. It has helped me tremendously. I was getting sick with sinus infections it seemed like every couple of months. But using Astelin, along with replacing some carpeting in my home with wood floors, has helped me significantly. I think I've only had one sinus infection in the last year. Great product!

    I use this with my nasal steroid for my congestion, especially during the winter months and for sinusitis. Clears the nasal passages very effectively. The key to this is the administration, if not done properly, one will get a taste from the medication dripping down in the back of your throat so read the administration "how tos" thoroughly before spraying. It helps.
