You should use Patanase exactly as prescribed by your doctor. When you first use a bottle, or after seven days of non-use, you will need to prime the applicator. Use your forefinger and middle finger to press down on the applicator until a fine mist comes out. Before each use, blow your nose to clear your nostrils. Hold one nostril closed, tip your head down with your chin to your chest, and hold the applicator about half an inch into your open nostril. Gently breathe in through your open nostril and quickly push down on the applicator. Breathe out through your mouth. Repeat for the other nostril. If your dose is two sprays per nostril, alternate nostrils between sprays. Do not spray the same nostril twice. Do not blow your nose or tilt your head back immediately after use. This may cause a bitter aftertaste in your mouth. Patanase is only safe for use in the nose; do not spray in the eyes or mouth.
