Theravent
I have used both the prescription Theravent for apnea and the Anti-snoring (non-prescription) applications. I have more difficulty with the non-prescription application because it only has one very small exhalation hole where the prescription application lets you exhale out of both nostrils. I am a respiratory therapist and I can't believe that the non-prescription application produces less pressure than the prescription! I have taken it off at night many times because I ended up exhaling out of my mouth because it was too restrictive. I don't have sleep apnea, but I am a snorer. The shape of my nose could also contribute a little (its narrow with a downward slope at the tip) but I didn't have the problem with the prescription application. The customer service has always been good, I'm just disappointed that the anti-snore application does not work for me. I'm back using my CPAP to eliminate my snoring. I don't have a RX for my CPAP since I'm a RT I had access to a CPAP machine...
