Always follow your doctor’s instructions. The usual dose for adults and children 6 years and older is one spray in each nostril once daily. For optimal results, use it at the same time each day.
Using Rhinocort Aqua Correctly
Before your first use, prime the pump by spraying into the air 6 to 8 times until a fine mist appears. Gently blow your nose to clear your nasal passages. Sit upright, tilt your head slightly forward, and insert the nozzle into one nostril. Close the opposite nostril with your finger. Spray firmly once while inhaling gently through your nose. Repeat for the other nostril. After each use, wipe the nozzle with a clean tissue.
Adjusting Your Dose
Your doctor might adjust your dose depending on your response to the medication and the severity of your condition. Never increase or decrease your dosage without consulting your doctor.
Important Considerations
Adults and children 6 years and older | 1 spray in each nostril once daily |

Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s nearly time for your next dose. Avoid doubling up on doses.
