  • How to use

    The maximum daily dose is 2 sprays into each nostril up to 3 times daily. Do not use for more than three days at a time unless advised by a doctor or pharmacist. If congestion persists, seek medical advice.

    1. Do not cut the nozzle. The metered dose spray is ready to prime before use.
    2. Gently clear your child’s nose.
    3. Remove protective cap.
    4. Before using for the first time, prime the pump by actuating 4 times. If the product has not been used for longer than 7 days, the pump will need to be re- primed with 2 actuations. If the full spray is not administered, the dose should not be repeated. Be very careful not to spray in the eyes or mouth.
    5. Hold bottle upright with thumb under base and nozzle between two fingers
    6. Lean your child's head forward slightly and insert the nozzle into the nostril.
    7. Spray and ask the child to breathe in gently through the nose at the same time.
    8. Repeat with the other nostril.
    9. Clean and dry the nozzle before replacing back the cap right after use.
    10. To avoid possible spread of infection, the spray should only be used by one person.
