Correct Usage: Before your first use, prime the inhaler by pressing the pump several times until a fine mist appears. Hold the inhaler upright and away from your face. Gently close one nostril, insert the nozzle into the other nostril and firmly press the pump while inhaling gently through your nose. Repeat for the other nostril, following the prescribed number of sprays per nostril.
Cleaning: Regularly clean the nozzle with a dry tissue after each use to prevent clogging. Avoid using water or other cleaning agents.
Potential Side Effects: While generally safe, some users may experience minor side effects like nasal dryness, irritation, or bleeding. Rarely, more serious reactions can occur. Consult your doctor if you experience any unusual symptoms.
Storage: Store the inhaler in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it out of reach of children.
Medication Interactions: Inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs, to check for potential interactions.
