Nasarel (Cont.)

When and How to Take Nasarel

General considerations for when and how to take Nasarel include the following:
 
  • Nasarel comes in the form of a nasal spray. It is usually used two or three times a day.
     
  • Blow your nose before each Nasarel dose. Breathe in gently while spraying the medicine into your nose. Do not try to inhale the spray or breathe in too deeply, as the drug works when it comes into contact with the inside surfaces of the nose, not the throat or lungs.
     
  • Avoid aiming the spray toward the wall that separates your nostrils in the middle of your nose, called the nasal septum. Spraying Nasarel toward the nasal septum increases the risk of nosebleeds. Some people find it easiest to avoid this by holding the bottle in the opposite hand (using the right hand to spray into the left nostril, and vice versa).
     
  • For the medication to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. Nasarel will not work if you stop taking it.
     

Dosing Information for Nasarel

The dose of Nasarel that your healthcare provider recommends will vary, depending on a number of factors, including:
 
  • How you respond to Nasarel
  • Your age
  • Other medications you may be taking
  • Other medical conditions you may have.
     
As is always the case, do not adjust your Nasarel dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.
