If you use too many sprays, speak to your doctor. If you forget to use the spray, take your next dose at the usual time, never take two doses together. Do not use more than 8 sprays in a day and if your symptoms do not improve, or are not well controlled after 7 days, speak to your doctor or pharmacist.
