- Dosage
- <p><u>DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION</u>:<br>
Prior to administration of the first dose, shake container well and actuate pump 10 times (until a uniform spray is obtained). Each actuation delivers approximately 100 mg of mometasone furoate suspension, containing mometasone furoate monohydrate equivalent to 50 micrograms mometasone furoate. If the spray pump has not been used for 14 days or longer, it should be reprimed with at least 2 actuations, until a uniform spray is observed, before next use.</p>
<p>Shake container well before each use. The bottle should be discarded after the labelled number of actuations or within 2 months of first use.</p>
<p>Tell your doctor if you accidentally use more than you were told.</p>
<p>Cleaning your nasal spray:</p>
<ul>
<li>It is important to clean your nasal spray regularly, otherwise it may not work properly.</li>
<li>Remove the dust cap and gently pull off the nozzle.</li>
<li>Wash the nozzle and dust cap in warm water and then rinse under a running tap.</li>
<li>Do not try to unblock the nasal applicator by inserting a pin or other sharp object as this will damage the applicator and cause you not to get the right dose of medicine.</li>
<li>Allow the dust cap and nozzle to dry in a warm place.</li>
<li>Push the nozzle back onto the bottle and replace the dust cap.</li>
<li>The spray will need to be primed again with 2 sprays when first used after cleaning.</li>
