Application features
Before the first use, the spray bottle should be pulled out of the package and put the nozzle on top, then press it several times to check how the solution is sprayed. During the procedure, the balloon should be kept upright. As part of the injection, it is not necessary to throw back the head. In the event that, during use, the medicine bottle is regularly tilted, it can be rendered unusable. This is due to the fact that the propellant that is inside can simply leak out.
In the event that the therapeutic agent is planned to be used regularly, then the nozzle can not be disconnected from the bottle. But, if the solution is used only from time to time, then crystals can form in the upper hole, which will interfere with the release of the drug.
