Re: Afrin nasal spray

Thanks everyone for all the replies.. I threw out the Afrin. And won't ever get any more. I should talk to my Dr & see what he says, he knows me pretty well.. Lots of great info here, Thanks again.. Maybe try Flonase instead? https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/allergies/expert-answers/n...

Re: Afrin nasal spray

Instead of using Nasacourt last night I used Sea Salt for dry sinus. I had 48 leaks& 1.5 AHI Every night using Nasacourt I have been only having 10 leaks (max) & 0.1 or 0.3 AHI at most. One night is not a pattern. Do the math. Sea salt is not a substitute for Nasacort unless you never really needed...

Re: cpap sinus problems/new user

I tried Afrin long ago, it worked great, only using it when I got sinus congestion. But from reading on here that Afrin can be bad for you long term, I threw out those bottles.

I read Flonase is safer, I hope that is correct ?

I'll just be happy if we can continue to have free speech and the absolute right to speak openly and hopefully PROTECT the gullible as ChunkyFrog said.

I'm not a fan of any new laws.
Just protect and increase freedoms and rights.
Good point & I agree with you.. World is getting crazier.

Re: Afrin nasal spray

How about NASACORT ? Nasacort and Flonase are about equally effective with rare side effects. I would choose based on price and easy availability. Generic versions of each are available. Both are good options. Research suggests that nasal steroid sprays like fluticasone (Flonase Allergy Relief) and...

Re: Afrin nasal spray

Oxymetazoline Hcl 0.05% (Afrin and others) is a great product when used with caution. If you have temporary congestion, using it three or four days in a row will not cause rebound congestion when it is discontinued. For longer-term use, Flonase (And Beconase, Nasonex, Omnaris, Veramyst, and similar...
