Is Is Safe To Take Nasonex For Hay Fever Without Prescription?

A friend of mine had suffered from hay fever all her life until she recently used nasonex which was prescribed to her. She has finally found something that works for her. My question is; I was talking to another person a couple hours ago with similar symptoms; should I be telling him to try nasonex since it is now available without a script ?

You could mention your friend's experience with Nasonex and the other person could decide whether or not to try it. It's important to read the label and follow the directions exactly, and to use only as directed. Nasonex is a nasal steroid so could have significant side effects. However, you do not know if the other person's symptoms are actually caused by hay fever, so unless the person indicates that he does have hay fever, you don't want to be making such a specific recommendation just based on the symptoms described. Hope this helps.
