Can Strattera Cause Nasal Congestion And Runny Nose?

Ever since I started taking Strattera, nasal congestion and a runny nose seem to be everyday side effects--especially in the morning, but throughout most of the day too. I even invested in allergy proof/reducing pillow and mattress covers to no avail. can Strattera be the cause of my congestion/runny nose side effects?

Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of nasal congestion and runny nose which seems to be due to poor immunity of body and could be due to allergic reaction. Strattera does not seem to cause your symptoms. I would suggest you to:
- Avoid intake of cold beverages
- Take proper course of antibiotic Ciprofloxacin along with anti-allergic medication
- You should do warm saline gargles on daily basis
- Avoid intake of outside food and sharp and spicy food.
Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper examination. You should go for complete blood test examination, and start treatment accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
