Quick answer
For effective hay fever relief, shake the Pollinosan Allergy Nasal Spray gently, tilt your head forward, insert the nozzle into one nostril, and press the pump once while breathing in slowly. Repeat in the other nostril and avoid sniffing hard afterward.
Why correct technique matters
Using a nasal spray the wrong way can waste the medication and reduce its effectiveness. With Pollinosan Allergy Nasal Spray, the key active ingredient Ectoin® forms a protective layer on the nasal lining. If you sniff too hard or tilt your head back, the spray may drip down your throat or out of your nose instead of staying where it's needed.
When to use the spray
For best results, start using Pollinosan a few days before your hay fever season begins or at the first sign of symptoms. Use it 2-3 times daily, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Since it's preservative-free, each bottle is designed for single use and should be discarded after 20 applications or 30 days, whichever comes first.
Step-by-step instructions
- 1. Prepare the spray: Shake the bottle gently for a few seconds. Remove the protective cap. If using for the first time, prime the pump by pressing down a few times until a fine mist appears. A common mistake is skipping the prime step, which can result in a weak spray that doesn't deliver the full dose.
- 2. Position your head: Tilt your head slightly forward, looking down toward your toes. This angle helps the spray stay in your nasal passages rather than running down your throat. Do not tilt your head back — that's a common error that leads to post-nasal drip and wasted product.
- 3. Insert and spray: Insert the nozzle into one nostril, aiming slightly toward the outer wall of your nose (away from the septum). Press the pump once while breathing in gently through your nose. Sniffing hard will pull the spray into your throat. Use a gentle, steady breath instead.
- 4. Switch nostrils and repeat: Repeat step 3 in the other nostril. Avoid blowing your nose for at least 1-2 minutes after use to let the Ectoin® layer form. If you need to blow your nose, do it before using the spray, not after.
- 5. Clean and store: Wipe the nozzle with a clean tissue after each use and replace the cap. Store the bottle at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Don't share the spray with others — each bottle should be used by one person to prevent contamination.
