How to Use
Shake the bottle gently before use. Remove the dust cover, press the spray pump until a fine mist appears, and blow your nose to clear the nostrils. Insert the applicator into one nostril while closing the other, inhale slightly, and press down to release the spray. Repeat the process for the other nostril. Clean the applicator with warm water at least once a week.

There are no well-controlled studies on using Fluvent Nasal Spray in pregnant women. It should only be used if the benefits outweigh the potential risks. Caution is advised for breastfeeding mothers as corticosteroids may pass into breast milk.
