Has anyone had severe side effects from using Astelin 137mcg Nasal Spray (200 Dose)?

I've been using Astelin for about a month now to help with my seasonal allergies, and it's been great so far. However, I've seen some scary descriptions of severe side effects like allergic reactions and eye irritation. Has anyone else experienced these or similar bad reactions? I don't want to be overdramatic, but I'm just curious if these are common or rare. Also, does it get better the longer you use it?

I’ve had some drowsiness, but nothing too bad. Just make sure you use it as directed and you should be fine.

I’ve found that using a humidifier helps with the dry mouth and nosebleeds. Maybe try that too!

Be careful, I had a pretty bad allergic reaction the first time I used it. Swelled up like a balloon and it was terrifying. I stayed away from it after that.

I’ve had nose or throat irritation, and sometimes my taste changes. It’s weird, but I’ve gotten used to it.

I got terrible headaches when I started using Astelin. Luckily, they went away after a few weeks.

I'm glad this is working for you, but I had a similar experience with a different brand. No thanks, I switched to something else.
