Symptom warnings on medications amuse me.. I have allergies year round, so I listen up when I hear advertisements on allergy medications.. this Nasal Spray I found to be extremely entertaining..

1st note the usage.. Use spray TWICE a Day..

The dosage of ASTEPRO is 1 or 2 sprays per nostril, twice a day, as directed by your doctor

….But you can not drive, may be sleepy, have nosebleeds, headache, and unusual taste in your mouth.. and this is apparently made with Splenda? So you are spraying a sugar alternative up your nose?

Common side effects reported with ASTEPRO generally are mild and include unusual taste (bitter or sweet), nosebleeds, headache, fatigue and sleepiness.

• Do not drive a car, operate machinery or do dangerous activities after using ASTEPRO
• Avoid drinking alcohol or taking other medicines that may also cause sleepiness while using ASTEPRO
• Anyone who is allergic to SPLENDA® or to any product containing SPLENDA® should not use ASTEPRO

Note they are not saying that it only causes sleepiness when used with alcohol or other medications.. but to not use with other medicines that “may  also” cause sleepiness.

Why is it that the solution to most allergy issues also makes you sleepy.. so apparently if you have allergies the answer is to sleep it off.. if you have year round allergies you just need to opt for a nice coma?

I think the “do not drive” got me the most.. yes it says after you use it, but you are using it twice away.. sooo that sounds like you could be a hazard any time of day!
