Nostrilla - What Happened To It? (Page 2)
(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?

Insight Pharmaceuticals has recently changed the Nostrilla formula they have been using for years. They have added a preservative to it. The problem is, it makes many people's noses swell and burn for about 20-30 minutes and doesn't work as well. This Petition is to see is we can make our voices heard and help bring back a product many of us have used and loved for years. a petition link is below.

I have used many diff brands over the years, Afrin was the best....until I tried Nostrilla. I have been using it for at least 10 years now. However, the last batch I ordered...(I order online at least 6 at a time as I and my hubby use it) burns and stings really bad...Stopped and purchased a new bottle at local CVS and it burns really bad also. I think they must have changed the formula in the last 3 months. HATING IT!!

Damn it. The same happened to me. I've been using Nostrilla for the past 6 years and nothing else (but European Olynth) works for me. But recently I got Nostrilla, and realized it no longer works as it used to. It burns my nose for 30 min, but real bad. And then I am back at square one. Wtf?

Nostrilla's ingredients have been changed. I bought a new bottle recently, used it, and experienced burning, sore throat and a whole lot of mucus. The burning lasted for a full 15 minutes. I no longer can use this product. I contacted the company to ask if they have the old product with the old formula available, and they replied - no. The new ingredient is chlorhexadine. This is an antiseptic and that has to be where the burning sensation is coming from. I used this product for years and years, and when they had the recall, I was able to order from the company itself, so that is who I wrote to this time. Why would they change their formula? It was the best, now, for me at least, it is unusable.

NOSTRILLA = LIFE SUPPORT

Before the recall, when I used to buy Nostrilla a lot; this product kept be breathing especially since I can't afford to have surgery to have my nose fixed (causing me breathing problems) thereby allowing me to breathe properly, therefore I depend on Nostrilla from time to time. After the recall, all the Nostrilla disappeared and I tried other nasal decongestant products and they worked for a while, but definitely not as good or as well as Nostrilla does. Let's just say, when my nose stops working, I can't really breathe 100% or as easily, its more like 0.01% and I'll have to make a choice between eating solid food or drinking liquids or breathing. I can't do it all easily since my nasal passage is completely blocked due to high volumes of mucus and such and due to the rebound effect of Nostrilla. Yes, the product has its side effects, but its my last resort for the time being and I'm glad its back on the shelves at CVS once more. Though its a lot cheaper online than at CVS!

I check from time to time, and you are correct Topcat!! It is back on drugstore.com and also CVS online. I have a good supply that will last me for a while, but I am very happy to know it is back in the market place and available!!!!

Finally found some Nostrilla at a new flagship Walgreen's store in Chicago. Nothing at other downtown Walgreen's or CVS stores for a while now. But here's news: the pharmacist told me it's Nostrilla's delivery system that makes if so effective. So we're not crazy when we say that other products with identical ingredients don't work.

You're right Patricia! I did that and ordered a batch and they said they are still in business but can't control if companies don't put them on the shelves, as they have sent supplies to warehouses. I was able to purchase from CVS last month, but nothing was available of late. Hopefully I will get the Nostrilla before I run out in a few weeks. Thank you very much for the information!

I went to CVS and they are again out of stock. I checked on-line at the places I used to get it and they do not have it. Is it really coming back? How can you get in touch with insight? It has been months now with spotty supply and I am beginning to wonder if they are just getting rid of the product and discontinuing it. I need Nostrilla!

Anybody checked ebay lately for Nostrilla? Apparently there are some really greedy Sellers that know what is going on with Nostrilla, have gone out and bought up supplies we all need, and they are selling them for between $30-45/BOTTLE on ebay. I'd suffocate before I paid them!
