Before using a new Allegro nasal spray bottle:

Allegro nasal spray has a cap which protects the nozzle and keeps it clean. Remember to take the cap off before using the spray.

Before starting to use a new bottle of Allegro nasal spray or if you did not use the spray for a few days, press the pump down a few times until a fine mist is obtained.

Hold the bottle with the forefinger and middle finger supporting from either side of the nozzle and the thumb under the bottle. Without moving the thumb, press down with your fingers to pump the spray. While pressing, make sure that the spray nozzle is not facing you or any other person.

Do not use a pin or sharp object to try to open a blockage or to enlarge the hole in the spray nozzle, since this will ruin the spraying mechanism.

Directions for using Allegro nasal spray:

Shake the bottle well and take off the cap. Blow your nose gently. Close one nostril and insert the nozzle in the other nostril. Tilt your head slightly forward and keep the bottle upright. Hold the bottle. Start to breathe in slowly through your nose. While you are breathing in, spray a gentle spray into the nostril by firmly pressing down with your fingers on the collar of the nozzle. Breathe out through your mouth. Repeat the step to spray a second spray into the same nostril. Remove the nozzle from this nostril and breathe out through your mouth. Repeat the steps for your other nostril.

After using the spray, carefully wipe the nozzle with a clean tissue or handkerchief, and close the spray with the cap.

Cleaning the spray:

Take off the cap and the nozzle. Soak the nozzle and cap in warm water for a few minutes and then rinse under running tap water. Shake the excess water off and let it dry. Put the nozzle back on. If necessary, press the pump a few times until a fine mist is obtained.

Allegro nasal spray quickly begins to reduce inflammation and swelling in your nose, although it may require 3 to 4 days to achieve its maximal protective activity. To prevent onset of symptoms, start using Allegro nasal spray before being exposed to any of your common allergens.

Try to use the spray in the morning hours.

The usual dosage for adults and children over the age of 12, is generally:

Two actuations into each nostril, once a day. When the symptoms improve, you can reduce the dosage to one actuation in each nostril, once a day. If the symptoms are particularly severe, you may need to spray two actuations in each nostril, twice a day,until the symptoms improve.

Do not use more than 8 actuations (4 times in each nostril) (400 mcg) per day.

Use the lowest possible dosage to control your symptoms.

If your symptoms do not improve or are not well controlled after 7 days,consult your physician or pharmacist.

The usual dosage for children ages 4 to 11 years old, is generally:

The usual starting dosage is one actuation per day in each nostril, preferably in the morning.

The maximal dosage is 4 actuations (2 actuations in each nostril) per day.

Allegro nasal spray is not for use in children for a period longer than one month.
