How often should I use FLONASE Allergy Relief?
It’s important to take your FLONASE nasal spray dose regularly in order for it to work effectively. It may take several days to feel relief. However, do not exceed the recommended dosage, as this will not improve or speed up the results.
Dosage For Adults
Adults should take two sprays of FLONASE in each nostril once a day for the first week. After that, use one or two sprays in each nostril once a day as needed. If your symptoms are still present after six months of daily use, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Dosage For Children
For children ages 4 to 11, take one spray in each nostril once a day under adult supervision. If symptoms continue for more than two months a year, check with a healthcare professional.
Children ages 12 and up can take the adult dose.
Children under 4 years of age should not use FLONASE Allergy Relief nasal spray.
How do I clean my FLONASE Allergy Relief spray nozzle?
Make sure you’re getting your full dose of allergy medicine by cleaning your FLONASE nozzle weekly, or any time it gets clogged. This is quick and easy to do – just follow these steps:
- Remove the white spray nozzle by grasping the base and pulling up.
- Rinse the nozzle under a running tap.
- Allow it to dry at room temperature.
- To replace the nozzle, aim the bottle away from your face, then gently push the nozzle back into place until you hear a soft click.
- If the nozzle is still clogged, soak it in warm water, then repeat steps 2 to 4 until it sprays easily.
- Prime the nozzle again before use.
Remember, never try to unblock the nozzle with a pin or other sharp object – this can damage it.
