Question

Lila has called with an inquiry. Several weeks ago, her physician gave her a prescription for Stimate nasal spray. The directions on the label read “Use 1 to 2 sprays in each nostril 3 times a day.” Her physician told her that she could increase her dose every week if she needed to, depending on her symptoms. She started using only one spray in each nostril; after a week she used two sprays in each nostril in the morning and at night and only one spray in the afternoon. After one week she increased it to two sprays in each nostril morning, noon, and night. Now it's been a week and she needs to increase the dose again, but she can't remember how the doctor told her to do it. She wants to know the correct way to increase it. Should she increase it by one or two sprays each dose? What is the maximum number of sprays she should use at a time?

Explanation / Answer

According to her physician, Lila can increase one spray per dose per week if her condition does not improve. according to the label, she can use two sprays in each nostril at a time.
