Astepro Nasal Spray and Tissue Bundle, 24-Hour Allergy Relief, Steroid-Free, Nasal Congestion, Runny & Itchy Nose, 200 Metered Sprays (Packaging May Vary)

I usually use Flonase sensimist but decided to try something new as for me Flonase was really only getting me mild results with daily use. Switching to Astepro I noticed quick results, under 30 minutes, and was using one spray per nostril. That’s the benefit of an antihistamine over a steroid. However one huge downside to this product is the awful taste. I found that quickly after spraying, the solution would work its way through my nasal cavity and start to drip into the back of my throat. Blowing my nose did help by removing excess product but once its back that far, for me I can’t remove it completely. The taste is so bad, super bitter. You need something to drink to get it off the bad of your tongue. Water works ok, coffee is better I found. Overall I recommend since for me it’s the best nasal spray, but it’s something I only use when needed due to the taste. Also stacked this product with the generic of Claritin, which I take daily; no issues.

I've had a stuffy inflamed nose my whole life. Every doctor has told me this, and I used to have a prescription for the prescription version of this spray. But I moved and haven't been able to get it for awhile. After a night with a really stuffy nose I randomly googled it and was so happy I can just buy it now. It's much more effective than the steroid sprays for me. Bonus: it helps me sleep. (I do recommend using it at night for this reason.) I used to have a special technique for using the prescription version to make it taste less bad, but I don't notice that this one tastes as bad.

Amazon has competitive and or better prices than stores that carry this product. So I tend to get a lot of my things off of Amazon now because of that. I got some

Seems to work pretty well nose was running a lot before and just after I took it. The only drawback is it has a very distinct taste it leaves in back of throat. I’ve tried drinking soda and using strong breath mints but nothing is helping. I guess I’ll just have to use on my worse days only.

My seasonal allergies seem to get worse every year. I read that this is better for nose related allergy symptoms than your normal OTC allergy pill. My review is based off of relief of having a very stuffy nose.There are a lot of negative reviews about side effects and having a bitter taste in the mouth after using the spray. It is extremely important to follow the instructions on how to use this spray, and better yet, check out their videos. If you take this standing in a regular position with the nozzle point up into your nose you’re gonna have a bad time.The first time I used this product I did not read the instructions and I did have a bad time via bitter taste, sinus headache, and scant bloody noses. After regrouping for a couple days I tried this medication with the correct technique. It has worked wonders!!! I use it at night when my nose starts to get stuffy. I usually have relief for a couple of days. I end up using this product at night about 3 times a week.To summarize the technique: stand with your chin on your chest. When you aim the nozzle in your nostril imagine pointing it towards the back of your head not the top, and aim the nozzle slightly out towards the ear. When you spray the medication do NOT breathe in forcefully through your nose. Take tiny puff inhales through your nose. Repeat on the other side. I keep my chin down on my chest for about a minute. Wipe any excess medication the drips out.I have not had an issue with a bitter taste or adverse side effects. I do notice a slightly sweet taste about 15-30min after taking the medicine. More importantly I’m able to prevent mouth breathing at night. This has greatly increased my comfort and reduced my nasal allergy symptoms.

Definitely does the trick

This nasal spray is very effective and works quickly to relieve congestion. After using it, I could breathe much more easily, and the relief lasted for several hours, which is great. It’s definitely one of the better options I’ve tried in terms of getting fast results.However, the one downside is the lingering smell it leaves behind. After each use, there’s an unpleasant odor that sticks around for a while, and it’s not the most enjoyable experience. While the spray does the job, I just wish the smell wasn’t so off-putting.If you can overlook the scent, it’s an excellent choice for congestion relief, but the smell might be a dealbreaker for some and why it is only getting a 3 star.

Excellent allergy nose spray
