Tips

Hello!
I completed my first two treatments last week and I feel like both my sets of medications were messed up. Both times, Monday and Thursday, the first nasal sprayer (for lack of a better term) went okay in one nostril (actually felt like a spray) and the other nostril just wouldn’t click after several tries, then shot out like a water gun. The second nasal sprayer for the day did the same. I’m on 56mg, so they were each 28mg sprayers.

It’s difficult to not have it almost immediately drain down my throat when this happens. I feel like I’m not getting a great benefit from the medication since it isn’t staying in my nasal cavity long enough to be properly absorbed. It’s just all draining down my throat. I’m not aggressively snorting it, I try to slightly sniff it; get a good balance between it running down my throat and running out or my nose.

I guess the point of my post is to ask if anyone else has had defective sprayers and if they had any tips or tricks to avoid having the medication immediately run down their throat. Thanks!
