Afrin 0.05% Nasal Spray should be used according to your doctor's instructions. Normally, you should gently blow your nose before using it, shut one nostril while applying the medication to the other, and then sniff deeply to ensure the medicine goes deep into the nose. Then do the same thing with the other nostril. It gives immediate relief and might persist for many hours. It only gives brief comfort, so don't use it more often or for longer than the manufacturer recommends. If you take this drug too frequently or for too long, it may aggravate rather than relieve your symptoms.
Blow your nose gently or clean it out with a saline rinse. Shake the bottle before use and prime if needed. Tilt your head downward towards your toes. Hold the bottle upright and insert the nozzle tip inside one nostril, aiming towards the outside wall. Press the other nostril with one finger to close off that nostril. Push down and spray bottle while sniffing in gently. Repeat the same steps for the other nostril. Wash your hands after use to remove any medication.
