Pirinase Hayfever Nasal Spray 60 Dose

Pirinase Hayfever Nasal Spray contains a corticosteroid called fluticasone propionate. This has an anti-inflammatory action and works in a similar way to natural body chemicals to control inflammation. This spray helps to control your body's reactions to allergens in the environment.

What does it do:

When used regularly it treats and helps prevent allergic rhinitis caused by airborne allergies including hayfever. It helps to relieve the symptoms of allergic rhinitis for up to 24 hours.

Airborne allergy symptoms include:

• Sneezing
• Itchy and runny nose
• Itchy and watery eyes
• Nasal congestion and associated sinus discomfort

Use as little as you need to keep allergy symptoms under control. Using the spray in the morning works best for most people.

• The usual dose for adults aged 18 years and over, is 2 sprays into each nostril, once a day.
• If your symptoms get better, try 1 spray into each nostril, once a day
• If your symptoms are especially bad, you may need 2 sprays into each nostril twice a day (morning and evening) until your symptoms improve. Then go back to the usual dose. Don't use more than 4 sprays into each nostril in a day.

You may not get benefit straight away. It can take 3 or 4 days for the spray to have its full effect.
