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...

Nope. 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.
