To treat rhinitis, the usual adult dose for adults and children over 12 years of age is 2 sprays into each nostril once daily in the morning, or 1 spray into each nostril morning and evening.
To treat rhinitis, the usual dose for children between 6 and 12 years of age is 1 spray into each nostril once daily, in the morning. If this dose does not control symptoms, your child’s doctor may suggest that the dose be increased. After the symptoms have been brought under control, the smallest amount necessary to control the symptoms should be used.
To treat and prevent nasal polyps in adults and children over the age of 12, the recommended dose is 1 spray into each nostril, morning and evening.
The full effect of budesonide therapy may not be reached until after 2 weeks of treatment. Treatment of seasonal rhinitis should, if possible, start before exposure to allergens.
To use the spray:
Repeat the same procedure with the other nostril. Use your right hand to spray the left nostril and the left hand to spray the right nostril.
If you are using two sprays in each nostril, repeat the entire process for each nostril for the second application. Try to aim the first spray high into the nose and the second one into the lower half of the nose.
To make sure that you're getting the proper amount and effects of the medication, you should ask your health care professional to explain how to use this nasal spray correctly.
