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)

The husband has a persistent dry cough due to nasal drainage. Drives me crazy. He squirted 2 pumps and within 5 minutes he purged a ton of snot. That was 4 hours ago and he has not coughed one time. Praise the Lord. This stuff works. Pricey and bad taste but it delivers on it’s promises.

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 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!).

This is awful to take. The taste in the back of my throat almost made me throw up a few times. I think it has helped a bit with my allergies which is nice since I'm already taking a couple different oral antihistamines this allergy season.

This stuff works well for me. It's unfortunate that it seems to always be out of stock lately.

This nasal spray is actually worked very well. I have tried many different brands and nothing worked . This one i only used one pump on each nostril and it lasted me for 24 hours. Couldn’t be happier since i have found it.

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.

I just threw this $40 toxic garbage in the trash after two uses.I followed directions to keep the spray from going down my throat by bending forward and holding one nostril closed while spraying into he other. I only used one spray. The very toxic, bitter taste still made its way into my throat and burned my nostrils for hours. Did nothing to clear up my stuffy nose or post nasal drip In fact, the post nasal drip just brought more of the bitter taste into my throat.An artificial sweetener is listed as one of the ingredients. Why? It does nothing to mask the bitter taste.
