Squeeze the required amount of drops of the drug onto the clean mucous membrane of the nasal passage, then pinch the nostril with your finger for a short time.

If the bottle is sealed with a dropper cap, carefully cut off the tip of the pipette, close the pipette tightly with the cap. Before using, turn the bottle upside down so that the liquid fills the entire space of the pipette. Remove the cap. Squeeze the required amount of drops of the drug onto the clean mucous membrane of the nasal passage, then pinch the nostril with your finger for a short time.

Instillation of the drug into the nasal passages is carried out in a sitting position with the head slightly thrown or tilted to one side, after which each nostril is clamped with a finger for a short time.

The effectiveness of absorption may decrease in the presence of increased discharge from the nasal mucosa, so it is recommended to clean the nasal passage before use (instillation).
