NASAL SPRAY INSTRUCTIONS2 The tip of the spray should be aimed towards the back of the head, and not directed at the side or middle of the nose. Note, that when using "standard" spray techniques the spray hits the front of the turbinates, drips to the floor of the nose, then goes into the throat and is swallowed. I often ask patients to lay their head flat (on the ear) on the kitchen table to ensure the spray goes where it is supposed to. www.homestead.com /brucesweetallergyasthma/files/NASALSPRAYINSTRUCTIONS2006.htm   (494 words)

Nasal spray 'addiction': Are you hooked? - MayoClinic.com You're not actually "addicted" to the ingredients in decongestant nasal sprays as much as you are to what the ingredients do — which is clear your nasal passages. Nasal congestion occurs when blood vessels in the lining of your nose (nasal membranes) expand (dilate), such as due to a cold or allergies. After a few days of using a decongestant nasal spray, your nasal membranes may become tolerant — or less responsive — to the effects of the medication. www.mayoclinic.com /health/nasal-spray-addiction/AN01241   (361 words)

CDC - Influenza (Flu) | Q & A: The Nasal-Spray Flu Vaccine (Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine [LAIV]) The nasal-spray flu vaccine (sometimes called LAIV for Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine) is a new flu vaccine that was licensed in 2003. When the viruses are sprayed into the nose, they stimulate the body's immune system to develop protective antibodies that will prevent infection by naturally occurring influenza viruses. However, if nasal congestion is present that might limit delivery of the vaccine to the nasal lining, then delaying of vaccination until the nasal congestion is reduced should be considered. www.cdc.gov /flu/about/qa/nasalspray.htm   (1249 words)

CIGNA - Nasal spray flu vaccine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) Like the flu shot, the nasal spray vaccine contains three strains of influenza virus that are predicted to be circulating during the flu season. If you become infected with the flu despite having been immunized with the nasal spray vaccine, symptoms will usually be mild, and you will have a decreased risk for developing flu complications. Use of the inactivated influenza vaccine (flu shot) is generally preferred over the nasal spray vaccine for household members and caregivers of people who have severely impaired immune systems during times when they require a protected environment. www.cigna.com /healthinfo/ue5499.html   (809 words)

Flu shot effective against drifted influenza, nasal spray vaccine less so The nasal spray, which is based on a live but weakened virus, was 86 percent protective in one study conducted in children during a major drift year.

BabyCenter | Readers' Comments - Is it safe to use a nasal spray decongestant during pregnancy? Nasal spray is VERY addictive, but don't think that you can't stop using it. I finally went to my doctor (regular not OB) and she gave me a spray that you only use once a day and it is not Afrin (I too was addicted) It has helped me more than I ever thought it would. I don't know about most of you, but my stuffy nose is not caused by a cold, or an addiction to nasal spray, but is due to being pregnant and what my hormones are doing to my nasal membranes. www.babycenter.com /comments/safe1136672   (1873 words)

Flixonase allergy nasal spray Fluticasone is a synthetic corticosteroid and is adminstered by nasal spray to decrease inflammation in the nasal passages. It is therefore most effective to start using the nasal spray two to three days before you expect to get symptoms, for example before the start of the pollen season, or if you know you are going to be in contact with pets that give you the allergy. These side effects on other areas of the body are called systemic side effects and are extremely unlikely to occur with this nasal spray, because the amount of fluticasone absorbed into the bloodstream from the nose is very low. www.netdoctor.co.uk /medicines/100004882.html   (1156 words)

Migraine Issues Teens who took zolmitriptan nasal spray (Zomig) for their headache pain were nearly three times more likely to find relief from pain within an hour compared to those given a placebo, said study author Paul Winner, a neurologist and director of the Palm Beach Headache Center. Two hours after taking the spray, the 39 percent of the zolmitriptan were pain-free compared to 19 percent of the placebo group. Those guidelines, issued in December 2004, included reports of small studies showing that sumatriptan nasal spray (Imitrex) was effective in reducing pain in adolescents and recommended its use for acute migraines in teens. www.migraineissues.com /ms/news/526469/main.html   (832 words)

Questions about Rebound Congestion, Afrin Addiction, Nasal Spray Addiction The active ingredient in many nasal sprays (typically Oxymetazoline hydrochloride) is a powerful drug which is very effective at eliminating congestion. The principle benefit is the preservation of nasal inspiratory flow (your ability to breathe in through your nose) as the decongestants are withdrawn. We do have a patent pending on an alternative nasal spray dispensing system which we believe is less likely to cause addiction from initially occurring. www.nasalspray.com /faqs.html   (2332 words)
