Suggest The Method To Use Flonase Nasal Spray
Question: I was using Flonase nasal spray for the first time. They say to pump into the air a few times. i extended my arm out and sprayed it 3 times into the air. Couldn't it get into your eyes and face because it is sprayed into the air in the room you are in? The medicine flows through the air and could fall on your body
Brief Answer:
For priming / not harmful
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Really a good question.
Flonase or for that matter any spray or inhaler is pumped in the air till the air is pushed out and is ready or say is primed to be used.
Yes, it may get into eyes, face or onto the body, but will be of the minutest of the quantity that will not have any bad effect on these parts ( if this is what you wanted to ask)
