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

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.

I’ve tried just about everything for my allergies, and nothing seemed to work. I would wake up sneezing 20-plus times every morning and go to bed with my head constantly draining, which even caused me to snore and drive my wife crazy. Since starting the Astepro Nasal Spray and Tissue Bundle, my sneezing is completely gone, and my allergy-related snoring has virtually stopped. I love that it’s steroid-free, so I don’t have to worry about long-term side effects. I started with two sprays in each nostril for the first week, and now I’ve reduced it to just one puff per nostril about 15 minutes before bed. It’s fast-acting and really makes a difference. If you struggle with allergies and want real relief without steroids, this product is absolutely worth trying.

Excellent product. Some good science on how this works on different allergies and illness. Used it for years and love it. Bad taste, but results are worth it. Use in airports and before crowded spaces for extra protection. Overpriced

The dispenser is well designed with the collar preventing accidental discharge and a large stream of medicine when you depress the ring. Compared to the corresponding dispenser for Flonase, which I used before trying Astepro, the Astepro equipment works much better. Whether it's equally effective is hard to tell at this time of year (fall-winter). My allergies are worst in spring and summer.

Works great and his non-steroid. The generic does not work, (usually I have no problem with generic, )but this is the name brand and it works.!

I use this to control nasal allergy symptoms from exposure to dust. Very effective and fast-acting, but only AFTER a couple minutes of extreme tickling in the nose, relentless sneezing and watering of eyes upon spraying. A small price to pay for the amount of relief I get from this product. The taste is unpleasant when it gets in the back of the throat which can be minimized by holding the chin down to the chest when spraying. Probably one of the most effective OTC products I've personally used (and I'm a pharmacist!).

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.

Works amazing great value for the money I’ve been trying allergy products for years and nothing worked but this stuff changed everything I went from having to carry a rag in my pocket every where I went because my nose was constantly running (disgusting I know) plus near constant sneezing now I use one spray in each nostril every morning I wake up with symptoms usually about 3 times a week and have no runny nose and no other allergy symptoms all day and night usually for multiple days
