Nostrilla - What Happened To It?
(Newest replies first)

Updated

All of a sudden Nostrilla has disappeared from the shelf of my CVS (which is the only place locally that I was ever able to find it). Online sites have is listed as out of stock. Was it discontinued, recalled, or what?

I have been using Nostrilla for 25 years with no side effects. Just clears my sinuses and no rebound. Does not bring my blood pressure up nor does it make my heart beat faster. One size does not fit all when doctors repeat the same thing over and over. I am 78 and in excellent condition except I get seasonal allergies.

Hi, Thanks for your post. Quick question since you are allergic to the new Nostrilla what do you take instead? Looks like I have the allergy as well.

The problem is Nostrilla was sold to another company and they CHANGED THE FORMULA (see the inactive ingredients). When I talked to the new company last year they had no clue and they kept reading the inactive ingredients. I had an old box of Nostrilla (original) in front of me, but the man I talked to over the phone kept insisting the inactive ingredients were the same.

My allergy background boils down to me being allergic to Formaldehyde and Formaldehyde Releaser so I always check the inactive ingredients because it is a hidden ingredient and goes by different names. Hope this helps.

You say Tristan has the same active ingredient but you don't say whether it has the same active ingredient as the original Nostrilla or the new Nostrilla

Thank you so much for this information, although troubling. My hair has started to fall out again and I think it's the Glycol. Sad!!

Hi. RiteAid had it for a long time, but now all of a sudden they don't. I know you can order it online from Walmart and Amazon. Good luck.

P.S. - because the new one makes my nose, eyes etc... go crazy, I take the bottle and split it into two bottles then I fill it with distilled water. Works great for me.

The old formula is still available at Amazon. I ordered a 7 pack and I too had been experiencing a nasty burning sensation and virtual ineffectiveness of the medicine during the past three to four months. I'm so glad Amazon still has a good stock of it in their supply. {affiliate link added}

Why is Nostrilla off the shelves at Walgreens? Unbelievable, it was the only thing that worked. What's up?

The Nostrilla (ORIGINAL Fast Relief) formula has been SOLD and the New Company has changed the FORMULA calling it NEW FORMULA Fast Relief. The change is in the INACTIVE INGREDIENTS. The ORIGINAL Fast Relief has benzalkonium chloride, chlorhexadine, glycine, hydrochloric, purified water, sorbitol.

The NEW FORMULA of Fast Relief has in the INACTIVE INGREDIENTS: benzalkonium chloride, edetate disodium, glycerin, polyethylene glycol, povidone, propylene glycol, sodium phosphate dibasic, sodium phosphate monobasic water

OMG, I'm so glad to know that I am NOT alone in purchasing different batches of the nasal spray. It has caused severe burning and stinging and I have had to take them back several times to the store! it has gotten to the point where I have had to go to the different stores looking for certain Nostrilla sprays with the lot number that does not sting. whatever they have done recently they need to go back because there are a lot of dissatisfied customers in a lot of temporary pain.

I have been having the same burning, rebound congestion and drippy nose. The old formula worked do well for years. This is horrible.

I've used Nostrilla for over 10 years. Just a squirt a couple of times a day to breathe better, never carried a tissue - never had to blow my nose. In September I thought I was suffering from ragwort pollen. I squirted all day to try to get relief but was overflowing with mucus, congestion, blocked nasal passages, but I attributed the condition to allergies - never knowing it was the Nostrilla until today reading your messages. Went to ENT in November - currently using Nasonex, along with Rite-Aid brand or Afrin nosespray. I don't believe my sinuses will ever be the same.

Likewise, I have experienced identical issues having been a long time user. Something drastically changed with Nostrilla. I wondered if they made major chemical changes to their product. I cannot smell or tast anything. My sinuses have been flowing for 3 months and I am using a box of Klenex a say. My doc said today to throw the Nostilla away. He said I will go through 2 weeks of hell while my sinuses recover.

I have used Nostrilla for many years. In September I got a sinus infection and bought a new bottle of Nostrilla. It burned like crazy. I went back and bought another bottle and the same thing. I called them to complain. They were reluctant to give any information but after repeated questions the lady finally told me that the FDA made them put a preservative in the formula. Since then, I can not taste anything or smell anything. Has any one else had this problem?? I have since started seeing a ENT specialist. He has not told me why I can not taste or smell anything. I can sense/taste sweets, sours, peppers, and salty foods just no actual flavors. I would like to know if anyone else has had this issue.

I've had this same problem with the burning and I thought maybe my nose was just really irritated due to chronic allergies. I had a couple of bottles around the house, one burned and one didn't. At that point I knew something had changed. I'm very upset as I've been using this product for seven years. Can't they find a preservative that doesn't burn so much? It's like the New Coke back in the '80s--a really terrible idea!

I knew something was up.... my husband bought a couple of new bottles and I have opened them both. We have been using this product for over 20 years as it is the only thing that works on a stuffy nose. Both of these bottles caused my nose and throat to burn terribly for at least 30 minutes. My husband didn't believe me until our 34 year old son said the same thing last night. This is crazy, did they not test the product? With so many people having the same symptoms it is obviously a problem.

I have the same problem.
I can sleep only with CPAP breathing machine. Without old Nostrilla I can't sleep normally. I also hate these pharmaceuts!
