This stuff just plain works. Generic available at CVS as of Nov 2009, November 23, 2009
This review is from: NasalCrom Allergy Prevention Nasal Spray, 0.88-Ounce Spray Bottles (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
For the most part, my alergies are sporadic and only show up every couple of years. When it does hit, though, I used to miserable for weeks, and no over the counter med helped significantly. Then I discovered this little miracle in a bottle. Nasalcrom puts a stop to the sneezing and runny nose syndrome.
If I let myself get into "allergy mode" I have to use the spray every couple of hours for the first day, to keep the symptoms under control. But once I get through about 18-24 hours, Nasalcrom pretty much eliminates all allergy symptoms, and I just have to use it 2 or three times a day for several days, then after a week, I get down to 1 or 2 times per day. Then eventually, I stop using it and I'm fine for a long time.
This last time, I went probably a good 2 or 3 years with no alergy symptoms, but then it came back with a vengeance this month. I was horrified to find that Nasalcrom had dissappeared from the stores. Walgreens, CVS, WalMart... I couldn't find Nasalcrom anywhere. I did find it here on Amazon, but I couldn't wait days to receive a shipment. I finally found out that CVS has a generic version called "Cromolyn Sodium Nasal Solution USP." I tried it and it does work just as well as Nasalcrom.
So for anyone out there who needs relief immediately, and can't find Nasalcrom locally, CVS has the solution, at least for now.

It sounds crazy, but..., March 10, 2007
I feel as if I have been CURED of my allergies! I used to be seasonably miserable. In fact, I would've gotten rich if I'd had stock in Sudafed, Afrin and Claritin. After discovering NasalCrom, I have no need for those products any more.
I started using NasalCrom 3 or 4 years ago during yet another miserable allergy season. The instructions said to begin use two weeks prior to the onset of the season. Good grief! Who can predict that!?! Anyway... I just started using it because I felt so miserable. Now, three years later, I have rare need of it.
During what used to be my allergy seasons, I occasionally feel a little stuffy. Time for Nasalcrom! One dose in each nostril and I'm good for another few weeks. Or now, maybe, good until next year!
There are no dopey or buzzy side effects. What a treat THAT is!
If it didn't sound crazy, I'd say that my allergies have been cured by using NasalCrom.
I LOVE this stuff!!!!

prevent allergy symtoms before they start, November 8, 2006
If used consistantly this product can prevent many allergy symptoms. I am prone to sinus infections due to having my nose broken when I was 14 and I have prevented many sinus infections just by using this product and a decongestant (regular sudafed or generic version of the same) The secret is to make using this product part of your daily routine, in the morning as you start your day, in the evening when you get home and right before bed. I have recommended this product to friends that could not find relief for their allergy symtoms and they were amazed at what a difference this product made for them.
