The recommended instructions for using Pirinase is to spray two puffs into each nostril once daily. Once symptoms have improved, you may be able to reduce the dose to one spray in each nostril daily. If your symptoms are especially bad, you may need to use the spray twice a day. Shake well before using the spray. Only use the spray in the nose and do not swallow the spray.

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.
