Knowing how to insert nasal spray into your nose makes a huge difference in its effectiveness.
“That one really kind of took off,” Imam told HuffPost about his instructional video. “I didn’t know that that many people didn’t know how to use a nasal spray.”Tilting out the spray is key so that the spray is not too concentrated in one area and can work better, Imam said. If “we don’t tilt it out, we end up inhibiting the septum, which is in the middle, and increasing the risk of nosebleeds,” he explained.
“He is correct as he also tells them to not aim toward [the] center of the nose and again point the nozzle outwards towards the sinuses,” she said, noting that when people point the spray inwards toward their blood vessels, this can cause irritation and nosebleeds. Imam also noted that another big misconception people have about nasal sprays is that they are all the same addictive drug, when in fact, they fall into different categories with different uses. Saline sprays moisturize irritated noses, and decongestants like Afrin close off blood vessels . There are also antihistamine nasal sprays that include azelastine, and steroid nasal sprays like Flonase, he said.
