Recommended dose:

Unless otherwise directed by a doctor, children aged 2 to 6 years: one spray in each nostril once or twice daily (every 8-10 hours). Do not administer more than three sprays in each nostril per day. The dosage depends on the individual sensitivity and response of the patient to the drug. Do not use higher doses than recommended.

Drug administration period:

Nasic Kids should not be used for longer than 7 days unless your doctor has specifically recommended continued use. Re-use should only occur after a break of several days. Always seek advice from your doctor regarding the duration of treatment. Continuous use of Nasic Kids may lead to chronic swelling and may possibly cause atrophy of the nasal mucosa. Patients with increased intraocular pressure (glaucoma, especially narrow-angle glaucoma) should consult a doctor before using Nasic Kids. Nasic Kids should not be used in children under 2 years of age. If the effect of Nasic Kids is too strong or too weak, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

How to use:

Nasic Kids is intended for intranasal use.

Glass bottle with built-in spray pump:

Remove the protective cap from the pump. Before first use, press the pump several times until an even mist appears. With subsequent applications, the preparation is immediately ready for use. Insert the pump tip as vertically as possible into the nostrils and press the pump once. For hygienic reasons, wipe the pump tip after use and put the protective cap back on.

Glass bottle with screw-on spray pump:

Remove the protective long cap from the spray pump. Unscrew the cap from the glass bottle and screw on the spray pump tip. Then remove the protective cap from the dispenser tip. Before the first administration, press the pump several times until a uniform mist is obtained. Insert the dispenser tip vertically into the nostril and press the pump to release one dose of the medicine, while gently inhaling through the nose. In the same way, administer a dose of the medicine into the other nostril. After use, clean the dispenser tip and put the protective cap on it. For subsequent administrations, the dispenser pump will always be ready for further use. Due to the risk of transmission of infection, the medicine package should be used by one patient only.

If you suspect that you have taken more than the recommended dose, contact your doctor immediately. If necessary, your doctor will suggest appropriate treatment.

If you forget to use Nasic Kids:

Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose. Continue treatment as described in the instructions for use. If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
