How to use DARMIKOF Adult Nasal Spray

To use the nose drops:

Blow your nose gently. Tilt the head back while standing or sitting up, or lie down on a bed and hang the head over the side. Place the drops into each nostril and keep the head tilted back for a few minutes to allow the medicine to spread throughout the nose.
Rinse the dropper with hot water and dry with a clean tissue. Replace the cap right after use.
To avoid spreading a cold or infection, do not use the container for more than one person and throw the container away after your cold is better.
