Pirinase Allergy 0.05% Nasal Spray - 60 dose

Pirinase Allergy is used to treat and prevent the allergic symptoms of hay fever and other airborne allergies e.g. pet, house dust mite and mold spore allergies. It relieves symptoms including sneezing, itchy and watery eyes, and a runny, itchy, or blocked-up nose, for up to 24 hours.

Usage Instructions

1. Shake the bottle well and remove the dust cap.
2. Blow your nose gently.
3. Close one nostril as shown and put the nozzle in the other nostril. Tilt your head forward slightly and keep the bottle upright. Hold the bottle as shown.
4. Start to breathe in slowly through your nose. While you are breathing in, squirt a spray of fine mist into your nostril by pressing down firmly on the collar with your fingers.
5. Breathe out through your mouth. Repeat step 4 to take a second spray in the same nostril.
6. Remove the nozzle from this nostril and breathe out through your mouth.
7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for the other nostril.
8. After using the spray, wipe the nozzle carefully.

Before using a new bottle of Pirinase Allergy

• Your Pirinase Allergy spray has a dust cap that protects the nozzle and keeps it clean. Remember to take it off before you use the spray.
• Before you start to use a new bottle of Pirinase Allergy, or if you have not used the spray for a few days, press the pump down several times until you get a fine spray.
• Hold the bottle as shown with your forefinger and middle finger on the
collar on either side of the nozzle and your thumb underneath the bottle.
• Keeping your thumb still, press down with your fingers to pump the spray.
• When doing this make sure you do not point the nozzle at yourself or someone else.
• If the spray still doesn’t work, try to clean it as described under the ‘To clean the spray’ section. Do not try to unblock or enlarge the tiny spray hole with a pin or other sharp objects because this will destroy the spray mechanism.

To clean the spray

1. Take the dust cap and nozzle off.
2. Soak the nozzle and dust cap in warm water for a few minutes and then rinse under a running tap.
3. Shake off the excess water and allow it to dry in a warm place – not too hot.
4. Re-fit the nozzle.
5. If necessary, press the pump down several times until you get a fine spray.
