Method of administration: Nasal spray.
Posology: Adults and children over six years of age: The recommended dosage is two sprays into each nostril twice daily (400 micrograms/day).
Once control has been established it may be possible to maintain control with fewer sprays.
A dosage regimen of one spray into each nostril morning and evening is efficacious in some patients. However, should symptoms recur, patients should revert to the recommended dosage of two sprays into each nostril morning and evening. The minimum dose should be used at which effective control of symptoms is maintained. Total daily administration should not normally exceed eight sprays.
For full therapeutic benefit, regular usage is essential.
The co-operation of the patient should be sought to comply with the regular dosage schedule and it should be explained that maximum relief may not be obtained within the first few applications.
Children under six years old: There are insufficient clinical data to recommend use.
