Nasal Spray (for managing allergies)

  • Place the tip of the nasal spray in your nostril
  • Aim the tip toward your ear on the same side
  • Block the other nostril with your finger
  • Press down as you breathe in
  • Don’t sniff or blow your nose for a few minutes after you spray so the mist has a chance to be absorbed. Hold a tissue under your nose
  • This spray works best if taken daily for at least several weeks. Use as prescribed
  • Store at room temperature, away from direct light
