Preparing the spray

• Shake the bottle gently for 5 seconds and then remove the protective cap (see figure 1).
• The first time the nasal spray is used, you must prime the pump.
• Prime the pump by putting two fingers on either side of the spray pump and place your thumb on the bottom of the bottle.
• Press down and release the pump 5 times into the air until a fine mist appears (see figure 2).
• Now your pump is primed and ready to use.
• If the nasal spray has not been used for more than 7 days, you will need to prime the pump until a fine mist appears again.

Using the spray

• Blow your nose to clear your nostrils (see figure 3),
• Keep your head tilted downwards towards your toes. Do not tilt head backwards.
• Hold the bottle upright and carefully insert the spray tip into one nostril (see figure 4).
• Close other nostril with your finger, rapidly press down once and sniff gently at the same time (see figure 5),
• Breathe out through your mouth. Repeat in your other nostril.
• Breathe in gently, and do not tilt your head back after dosing. This will stop the medicine going into your throat and causing an unpleasant taste (see figure 5).
• After each use, wipe the spray tip with a clean tissue or cloth and then replace the protective cap.

To Clean the Spray Pump Tip

• Your Nasal Spray should be cleaned at least 1 time each week.
• Remove the dust cap and then gently pull upward on the spray pump unit to remove it from the bottle.
• (See Figure 6)
• Wash the spray pump unit and dust cap in warm tap water.
• (See Figure 7)
• Allow to dry completely. When dry, place the spray pump unit and dust cap back on the bottle. (See Figure 8)
• If the spray pump unit becomes blocked, it can be removed as instructed above in Step 1 and placed in warm water to soak.

Do not try to unblock the spray pump unit by inserting a pin or other sharp object. This will damage the spray pump unit and cause you not to get the right dose of medicine.

• Affer the spray pump unit is unblocked, rinse the applicator and cap with cold water, and allow them to dry as in Step 3 above. When dry, place the spray pump unit back on the bottle and put the dust cap on the spray pump tip.
• Reprime the bottle as in Preparing the spray above. Replace the dust cap and your Nasal Spray is ready for use.

It is important that you take your dose as advised by your doctor. You should use only as much as your doctor recommends. You may experience a bitter taste in your mouth, especially if you tilt your head backwards when you are using the nasal spray. This is normal. This should go away if

you have a soft drink a few minutes after using this medicine, Occasionally you may sneeze a little after using this spray but this soon stops. You may experience an unpleasant smell.
