How To Use
Adults and children over 12 years: One spray in each nostril 1 to 3 times daily as needed. Do not exceed 3 applications daily into each nostril.
Remove protective cap.
Clear the nose.
Hold the bottle with thumb on the actuation button.
For a no dripping effect, stay upright and insert the short nozzle into a nostril.
Press on the button to spray and breathe in gently through the nose at the same time.
Repeat this procedure (steps 2 to 4) in the other nostril.
After each use, clean and dry the nozzle.
Put the protective cap back on until an audible "click" is heard.
Before using for the first time, prime the pump by actuating 5 times. Once primed, the pump will normally remain charged throughout regular daily treatment periods. If the spray is not ejected during the full actuation stroke, or if the product has not been used for longer than 7 days, the pump will need to be re-primed with 2 actuations.
Do not use continuously for more than seven consecutive days. If symptoms persist consult your doctor. Do not exceed the stated dose.
Do not use nasal decongestants for more than 7 days in a row. Using them for longer or too often can make your blocked nose come back or become worse.
Do not use this bottle for more than 28 days after opening it.
Each spray should be used by one person only to help prevent the spread of infection.
