Ansonide Caution For Usage

Directions for Use: 1. Blow the nose gently to clear nostrils.
2. Shake the bottle gently. Remove the cap.
3. For first time use, hold the bottle upright and fill the pump by pressing the nozzle downwards and releasing it 5 times until a fine spray is produced.
4. Close one nostril with finger. Hold the bottle upright and insert the nozzle into the nostril as far as is comfortable. Whilst breathing in gently through the nose with the mouth closed, press the bottle upwards once to deliver one spray.
5. Breathe out through the mouth.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other nostril.
7. For patients aged 12 years and older, steps 4, 5 and 6 should be repeated once more to achieve the recommended dosage of 2 sprays into each nostril.
8. To keep the spray nozzle clean, wipe it carefully with a clean tissue after each use and replace back the cap.
If the nasal spray has not been used for 2 weeks or more, it needs to be sprayed once into the air before use. The nozzle should be pointed away while doing this. Always shake the bottle gently before use. If the spray does not work and it may be blocked, clean it as follows (see Directions for Cleaning). NEVER try to unblock it or enlarge the tiny spray hole with a pin or other sharp object because this will destroy the spray mechanism. The nasal spray should be cleaned at least once a week or more often if it gets blocked.
Directions for Cleaning: 1. Remove the cap and pull off the spray nozzle only.
2. Soak the dust cap and spray nozzle in warm water for a few minutes, and then rinse under cold running tap water.
3. Shake or tap off the excess water and allow to air-dry.
4. Re-fit the spray nozzles.
5. Prime the unit as necessary until a fine mist is produced and use as normal.
