Yes, I'm also a big fan of the cortisone nasal sprays. I've used beconase
and flonase in the past and they are totally effective with absolutely zero side effects. No contest compared to the usual over the counter antihistamines and decongestants. Are they habit-forming like the decongestant nasal sprays? Anyone who has ever felt the "rebound effect" of using nose spray too much knows what I mean... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

That's been my experience as well. Flonase does not cause any reaction on my part, it just eliminates the machine gun sneezing and the itchy eyes. In fact I become symptomless when summer arrives and I begin the routine. Corky Scott

news:eB%sc.27306$af3.1469710@attbi_s51... Are they habit-forming like the decongestant nasal sprays? Nasonex definitely is. I haven't used the other ones, but I would be surprised if they were significantly different. I did find I could minimize the effect, while still getting most of the benefit, by using the spray at only half the frequency prescribed. Pete

Are they habit-forming ...? Nasonex definitely is. The first time I read this it looked like "nanosex" and I was wondering whether it had a connection to certain other medications. I wonder if they picked the name with this in mind.  Jose -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address)

That was one of the big break throughs when they were invented. z

Since "nano" is a prefix meaning "very small" (in scientific applications, one thousand millionth), I rather doubt it. Sort of implies that you're gonna get a lot less than you're getting now if you take it. :-) George Patterson I childproofed my house, but they *still* get in.

As they were explained to me, the molecule is too large to enter into the bloodstream. The molecules simply sit on the surface of your nasal membranes, clogging up all your receptors that would usually be irritated by the allergens. The allergens don't get through to cause the reactions, so no symptoms. Works great. I come off of the becanase at any time with no change in how I feel. Also, it builds no tolerance, and no bad side effects, as far as I am concerned. -- Jim in NC --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

I have had good luck with a prescription steroid called Nasonex. Last
time I checked, it was on the approved list. I haven't used it for a year or so. Can anyone recommend any other FAA-approved allergy medicines?
