Before using Nasacort Allergy 24h (Triamcinolone-nasal) for the first time, you will need to prime the pump. To do this, pull the cover and the clip off the spray pump and shake the pump gently.

Repriming is only needed when the spray pump has not been used for more than 14 days. To reprime, shake the bottle gently and pump only once while holding the bottle away from you.

To use the medication:

Gently blow the nose to clear the nostrils if needed.
Pull the cover and clip off the spray pump and gently shake the spray pump.
Hold the spray pump firmly with the index finger and middle finger on the "shoulders" on either side of the spray tip and thumb on the bottom of the bottle. Rest the back of the index finger against the upper lip.
Put the spray tip into one nostril (the tip should not reach far into the nose) and bend your head forward slightly.
Point the tip straight back into the nose and close the other nostril with a finger. Pump the spray by pushing the thumb firmly and quickly for a full Stroke and gently sniff at the same time. Repeat for the other nostril.
If you are using more than one spray, repeat steps 3 to 5.
Wipe the nozzle with a tissue and replace the cap.
Avoid blowing the nose for 15 minutes after a dose.
