What is Clarinaze?
Clarinaze is a nasal spray from the manufacturers of the popular hay fever treatment, Clarityn. Clarinaze helps to ease symptoms of hay fever and is perfect for those who suffer from sneezing, a blocked or runny nose, or itching when the pollen count is high.
How does mometasone treat hay fever?
Clarinaze contains the active ingredient mometasone furoate, which was only available as a prescription medication (which you may know as Nasonex) until recently. Mometasone is a corticosteroid medication, which are sometimes known as steroids, and works by reducing inflammation on the inside of your nose. This helps to ease sneezing, itching, and a blocked or runny nose, which can all occur if you suffer from hay fever.
How to use Clarinaze nasal spray
Shake the bottle well before use and remove the dust cap. Blow your nose gently before each treatment. Use your finger to close one of your nostrils and insert the nozzle of the spray into your other nostril. Tilt your head forward slightly and gently begin to breathe in through your nose. As you breathe in, press down on the nozzle to squirt a spray into your nostril. Breathe out through your mouth and then breathe in through your nose and squirt one more spray. Remove the nozzle from your nostril and repeat the process in your other nostril. Use no more than 4 sprays in any 24-hour period, 2 sprays in each nostril. After using this product, wipe the nozzle with a clean handkerchief or tissue. Do not use it for more than 3 months without consulting your doctor.
