Use this medication exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not use the medication in larger amounts, or use it for longer than recommended by your doctor.

To use the nasal spray:

• Before the first use, prime the spray bottle by pumping it 5 to 10 times uintil a fine spray appears.
• Gently blow your nose to clear any mucous. Uncap the spray bottle.
• Insert the tip of the spray bottle into your nostril, pointing it straight upward. Block your other nostril with your finger. Quickly and gently pump the spray bottle one time and sniff gently at the same time. Remove the pump from your nose and tilt your head back slightly for a few seconds.
• If using more than one spray per nostril, wait at least 30 seconds between each spray.
• Clean the spray bottle tip with a tissue and recap it.
