Proper Usage
Nasal sprays are generally dispensed in either a glass or plastic bottle, and include a spray attachment and spray cover. At Valor, all nasal sprays sent out are delivered in a glass bottle. To properly use the spray, begin by taking the cap off of the bottle and insert the spray attachment. Spin it onto the bottle, and tighten by hand. Be sure it is screwed on tightly to avoid leaks. If the cap is not tight enough or if the cap is not threaded properly, leakage may occur. Next, place the spray tube over the spray attachment and click it into place. Once connected, you can leave the plastic pieces together and they don’t need to be separated after use.
How to prime the nasal spray bottle
You will need to prime your nasal spray before you use it for the first time or if you haven’t used it in a while. To prime your nasal spray, pump the bottle several times into the air away from your face until you see a consistent fine mist coming out. Once your nasal spray is primed it is ready for use.
