**Adults aged 18 years and older:**
Administer one dose of 3 sprays to the back of the throat every 3–6 hours as required, up to a maximum of 5 doses in a 24 hour period.
Spray at the back of the throat only. Do not inhale whilst spraying.
**Do not use more than 5 doses (15 sprays) in a 24 hours period.**
**Do not give to adolescents and children under 18 years.**
**Do not use for longer than 3 days** unless your doctor tells you to.
If symptoms persist or the pain worsen, or if any new symptoms occur, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
**If you use more Strepsils Max Pro Direct Spray than you should**, you may feel drowsy or nauseous. You should seek immediate medical advice in the event of an overdose, even if you feel well.
**If you forget to use Strepsils Max Pro Direct Spray.**
Do not ‘double dose’ to make up for a forgotten dose. Simply carry on with your next dose as required.
**Priming the pump**
When using the pump for the first time (or after storage for a long period of time) you must first prime the pump.
Point the nozzle away from you and spray a minimum of four times until a fine, consistent mist is produced. The pump is then primed and ready to use.
**Using the spray**
Aim the nozzle towards the back of the throat.
Using a smooth rapid motion, depress the pump **three times**, taking care to fully depress the pump for each spray, whilst removing the finger from the top of the pump between each spray.
