Rugby Laboratories BUDESONIDE Nasal Spray, Budesonide (glucocorticoid) 32 mcg Per Spray, 8.43ML 120 Sprays

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Excellent product. Help w my severed sinus congestion, runny nose, sneezing and other allergy symptoms. I’ve used Nasacort, Flonase and they both caused nosebleed but not this one. It works better then Zyrtec-D. I found this product as a replacement for Zyrtec-D because I was using Zyrtec-D and since I’ll be traveling to Japan soon and Zyrtec-D is not allowed to be brought to Japan due to it containing pseudoephedrine. So glad I found this product. Also appreciate the reasonable price.

I hate Flonase because of the alcohol and overwhelming scent added. This is the generic version of Rhinocort Aqua, which I loved and can’t find anywhere anymore. Wish more places carried this!

Ended up finding this product after doing some research on alternatives to nasacort, which seem to work but not entirely, and afrin which quickly builds tolerance. I live in Texas and if you know anything about the allergies here the oak, mold and cedar are bad this time of year. I take Xyzal at night as directed and it will keep me pretty clear throughout the night and most of the morning, but by mid-afternoon I'm already stuffed up. In addition I work in a Furniture Warehouse where the area is so dusty you can see the particles in the air so this definitely doesn't help. My quality of life has always been poor when my allergies aren't managed because I don't have a sense of taste or smell (unfortunately has been going on YEARS before that became a symptom of COVID) so much so that at periods of time I saved a lot of money eating extremely bland food because I wasn't going to taste it anyways. So far I have noticed a big difference with the Budosenide. While I'm not completely clear (artificially clear like Afrin) it's enough for me to get through my day being able to have my senses taste and smell. I would recommend it, for some reason here it is not stocked on the shelves I had to find it here on Amazon.

This spray works better and last longer than Flonase for me . It does not cause post nasal drip , or affect you as much as other steroid , but I will have to use it longer to see if it really works for more than just a week.
