Expert Advice

It works immediately, with each dose providing relief for up to 12 hours.
The correct way to use the nasal spray:

Shake the bottle before using the medication.
Clean your nose thoroughly before administration.
Insert the bottle tip into one nostril while closing the other nostril.
Direct the spray towards the sides of your nostril, avoiding the cartilage that divides the two sides of your nose.

Avoid deep breathing, as it may cause the medication to travel back to the throat, reducing its effectiveness.
Do not share the bottle with anyone else to prevent the spread of germs.
