24HR ALLERGY

A GETTING STARTED


Mometasone Furoate Nasal Spray works best at relieving your allergy symptoms when you get a full dose. Here’s how to get started, in five easy steps.


1 SHAKE



Shake spray bottle well.




Remove cap.     
                   
2 PRIME 

Do this when:

  • Starting a new bottle                                           
  • Bottle has not been used in one week
  • Just cleaned nozzle
  • Otherwise go to step 3 

     


    Aim away from face. Grasp spray bottle as shown. Pump until fine mist appears.

    Pumped ten times and still no mist?


    Spray nozzle may be clogged. See KEEP IT CLEAN, other side.

    NOTE:  There is enough medicine in the bottle to allow for priming sprays plus the number of sprays labeled on the bottle.

    3 BLOW

    Blow nose gently to clear nostrils.

    4 AIM

    Close one nostril and put tip of spray nozzle in other nostril.


    Put just the tip into your nose.


    Aim slightly away from center of nose.

    5 BREATH AND SPRAY

    While sniffing gently, press down on spray nozzle once or twice (according to dosing instructions). You’ll feel a light mist in your nose. Breathe out through your mouth.

    Repeat in other nostril.

    Wipe spray nozzle with clean tissue and replace cap.
