1. What Clarinaze Hayfever Relief is and what it is used for
What is Clarinaze Hayfever Relief?
Clarinaze Hayfever Relief nasal spray contains mometasone furoate, one of a group of medicines called corticosteroids. When mometasone furoate is sprayed into the nose, it can help to relieve inflammation (swelling and irritation of the nose), sneezing, itching and a blocked up or runny nose and associated sinus discomfort.
What is Clarinaze Hayfever Relief used for?
Clarinaze Hayfever Relief is used to treat the symptoms of hayfever (also called seasonal allergic rhinitis) in adults aged 18 years and older.
Hayfever, which occurs at certain times of the year, is an allergic reaction caused by breathing in pollen from trees, grasses, weeds and also moulds and fungal spores. Clarinaze Hayfever Relief reduces the swelling and irritation in your nose thereby relieving sneezing, itching and a blocked-up or runny nose and associated sinus discomfort caused by hayfever.

Preparing your nasal spray for use
Your Clarinaze hayfever relief 0.05% w/w nasal spray has a dust cap which protects the nozzle and keeps it clean. Remember to take this off before using the spray and to replace it after use.
If you are using the spray for the first time you need to "prime" the bottle by pumping the spray 10 times until a fine mist is produced: 1. Gently shake the bottle. 2. Put your forefinger and middle finger either side of the nozzle and your thumb underneath the bottle. Do Not pierce the nasal applicator.
3. Point the nozzle away from you and then press down with your fingers to pump the spray 10 times until a fine mist is produced.
If you have not used the spray for 14 days or more, you need to "re-prime" the bottle by pumping the spray 2 times until a fine mist is produced.
How to use your nasal spray
1. Shake the bottle gently and remove the dust cap. (Figure 1)
2. Gently blow your nose.
3. Close one nostril and put the nozzle into the other nostril as shown. (Figure 2) Tilt your head forward slightly, keeping the bottle upright.
4. Start to breathe in gently or slowly through your nose and whilst you are breathing in squirt a spray of fine mist into your nose by pressing down once with your fingers.
5. Breathe out through your mouth. Repeat step 4 to inhale a second spray in the same nostril if applicable.
6. Remove the nozzle from this nostril and breathe out through the mouth. 7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for the other nostril (Figure 3). After using the spray, wipe the nozzle carefully with a clean handkerchief or tissue and replace the dust cap.
