Hi,

Wondering; is the Herceptin sniffley nose due to the same reason that people get teary eyes, i.e. actually DRY eyes causing overproduction of tears?

If it's causing nasal dryness, might a saline nasal moisturizer spray help?

MIght this might help protect nasal passages against sinus infections and the like?

THanks for your help.

You might be onto something there...I do know Restasis has helped with the watery eyes, which in fact is dry eyes causing the overproduction...it would make sense that possibly a nasal moisturizer might help with the runny nose...and the dry cracking nose thing.
