Beclometasone Nasal Spray Directions:

• Squirt two sprays into each nostril twice a day. To get the most benefit out of your nasal spray use it regularly.
• Once you start to feel better, a single spray into each nostril twice a day may be enough to control your hayfever.
• Do not use more than eight sprays in 24 hours.

If you forget a dose use it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose though, do not double the dose just carry on as before.

Beclometasone Nasal Spray is not recommended for children or adults under 18 years of age. 

Using Beclometasone Nasal Spray:

If you have any problems about using your nasal spray, ask your pharmacist.

1. Remove the dust-cap and lock-ring (if fitted). Shake the bottle gently.
2. On first using the nasal spray, prepare for use by pressing down on the white collar using both your index and middle fingers. Keep the base supported with your thumb. Continue to press down until the collar stops and then allow to return to its original position. Repeat this action until a fine spray appears. The first five attempts to produce a spray should be allowed to go to waste. Now the spray is ready to use.
3. To use the spray, first blow your nose gently. Closing one nostril off . Bend your   head forward slightly. Hold the bottle upright and carefully insert the applicator into your other nostril.
4.  Slowly begin to breathe in through your nose and whilst doing so press down firmly on the white collar to produce a fine spray inside your nose. Breathe out through your mouth.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to squirt a second spray in the same nostril.

Wash the nozzle frequently with warm water.  This will prevent it from getting blocked. If the pump has not been used for a short period of time, re-priming may be necessary (see Step 2 above). 

Discard contents 3 months after first opening.
