How to use Zelanex
Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Insert the bottle tip into one nostril and close the other nostril. Direct the spray towards the sides of your nostril, away from the cartilage dividing the two sides of your nose. As you spray, breath gently and keep the head upright. Repeat the same process for the other nostrils.
How Zelanex works
Zelanex is an antihistaminic medication. It treats allergy symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, and itchy nose by blocking the effects of a chemical messenger (histamine) in the body.
What if you forget to take Zelanex?
If you miss a dose of Zelanex, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
Quick Tips
- The right way to use the nasal spray:
- Avoid deep breathing as it will cause medication to go back to the throat and make it less effective.
- Do not share the bottle with anyone else so that you do not spread germs.
- Zelanex should be avoided in patients with recent nasal ulcers, nasal surgery, or nasal trauma.
