You should understand the side effects that may occur while using these drugs.

The following is the list of commonly reported symptoms experienced by people when taking this prescription:

  • Redness of and itchiness in the eyes
  • Frequent burning sensations in the eyes especially a few minutes after the application of the drugs, either delivered through nasal spray or as an eye drop
  • Some people can experience swelling of the eyes

  • Congestion of the nasal cavity
  • For some rare cases, nosebleeds occur
