Nasonex Caution For Usage

Instructions for Use: Proper administration of NASONEX Aqueous Nasal Spray is essential to achieve maximum efficacy and minimize the risk of complications. For optimal compliance, NASONEX Aqueous Nasal Spray dosage and administration guidelines should be reinforced with patients before therapy is started. Instructions for use are as follows: Shake the NASONEX Aqueous Nasal Spray container well before use. Read complete instructions carefully and use only as directed.
1. Remove dust cap.
2. NASONEX Aqueous Nasal Spray must be primed before using for the first time. Do not pierce the nasal applicator. To prime, press up and down on the white collar, using the forefinger and middle finger while supporting the base of the bottle with the thumb 10 times until a fine spray appears. The pump is now ready for use. If the spray pump has not been used for 14 days or longer, it should be re-primed 2 times, until a fine spray appears.
3. Shake container well before each use.
4. Gently blow the nose to clear the nostrils. Close one nostril. Tilt the head forward slightly and, keeping the bottle upright, carefully insert the nasal applicator into the other nostril.
5. For each spray press firmly downwards once on the white collar, using the forefinger and middle finger while supporting the base of the bottle with the thumb. Breathe gently inwards through the nostril.
6. Repeat in other nostril.
7. Replace the plastic dust cap.
Cleaning: It is important to clean the nasal spray regularly, otherwise it may not work properly. Remove the plastic dust cap and gently pull off the nozzle. Wash the nozzle and dust cap in warm water and then rinse under a running tap. Do not try to unblock the nasal applicator by inserting a pin or other sharp object as this will damage the applicator and cause not to get the right dose of medicine. Allow to dry in a warm place. Push the nozzle back onto the bottle and replace the dust cap. The spray will need to be re-primed with 2 sprays when first used after cleaning.
