Freeair Nasal Spray is a steroid that relieves symptoms of rhinitis such as runny nose, sneezing, and sinus discomfort by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers that cause inflammation and allergies. You should always use Freeair Nasal Spray as advised by your doctor. To get the full benefit of the medicine you should use it regularly. Normally you should blow your nose gently before using it, keep one nostril closed while applying the medicine into the other, and then sniff hard to make sure it reaches deep into the nose. Then repeat for the other nostril. Nasal irritation is a very common side effect of this medicine. It may also cause nosebleed and headaches in some patients. Talk to your doctor if you are worried about side effects or they do not go away. Using corticosteroids like this medicine makes you more susceptible to viral infections so you should stay away from people who have these infections. In general, you should try to avoid situations which make your symptoms worse (things like pollen and dust mites) and it’s best not to smoke.
