How to stop my loud snoring with over-the-counter stuff?

Duct Tape: Actually you can't stop snoring with otc stuff. Clinical studies have actually shown that there is really no effective otc treatment for snoring. While some may help for individual circumstances.. All are uniformly poor in outcomes. You may want to try simple things like breathe right nasal strips or a mandibular advancment device - otherwise see your local ENT for an exam and work up.

Not easy: Lound snoring is not only annoying, it can be a sign of a much more serious problem called sleep apnea. This cannot be fixed by otc products. It is dangerous and can contribute to a host of health problems including high blood pressure, heart disease and others. Talk to your md about getting a sleep study to confirm.

Snoring: Be sure you do not have sleep apnea first with a sleep test - if you only have snoring you need an appliance that will bring your jaw forward and not bother your jaw check with your dentist to see if they treat snoring first.
