Be sure to throw away this medicine after the recommended number of sprays because the medicine may not be as effective. Read and follow patient instructions provided with this medicine. Usual dosage for adults and children is 2 sprays per nostril per day. Effects of this medicine are not immediate and depend on regular daily use; benefit usually occurs in a week. Clear nasal passages prior to use by blowing nose. If nasal passages are blocked, use a topical decongestant spray to ensure penetration of the spray.

Contact your doctor if sores or injuries occur in the nasal passages(eg, nasal surgery, frequent nosebleed). This medicine may prevent or slow proper healing.
