Dosage:
For nasal use. Blow your nose gently. Remove protective cap. The metered dose spray is ready to prime before use. Before the first application, prime the pump by actuating (depressing the pump) 4 times. Once primed the pump will normally remain charged throughout regular daily treatment periods. Should the spray not be ejected during full actuation, the pump will need to be re-primed by actuating 4 times. Be very careful not to spray in the eyes or mouth. Hold the bottle upright with thumb under base and nozzle between two fingers. Lean forward slightly and insert the nozzle into nostril. Spray and breathe in gently through the nose at the same time. Repeat with the other nostril. Clean and dry the nozzle before replacing back the cap right after use.
As with all medicines, please ensure you read the patient information leaflet before taking this item.
