4.2      Posology and method of administration
Otrivin Menthol should not be used in children aged less than 12 years old.
Method of administration:
Otrivin nasal metered-dose spray
Age                                                 Posology
Adults and adolescents over        1 spray into each nostril, 3 times daily as needed. Leave an 12 years of age                    interval of 8 to 10 hours between doses. Do not exceed a maximum of 3 applications daily into each nostril.
The metered-dose spray allows you to apply an exact dose and ensures that the solution is evenly distributed on the surface of the nasal mucosa. It prevents the likelihood of an unintentional overdose.

Each puff of Otrivin Menthol delivers 0.14 mL (0.14 mg of xylometazoline hydrochloride).
Before first use, press the spray pump 4 times. Once full, the pump will remain charged for the period of regular daily use. If spraying does not occur when the pump is fully pressed, or is not used for more than 7 days, it must be refilled by pressing the pump 4 times as done before the first use. It is recommended to make the last application shortly before bedtime. Be careful not to bring into contact with your eyes.

1. Clear the nose gently.
2. Remove protective cap.
3.   Do not cut the nozzle. The metered dose spray is ready to prime before use.
4.   Hold the bottle upright with thumb under base and nozzle between two fingers.
5.   Lean forward slightly and insert the nozzle into a nostril.
6.   Spray and breathe in gently through the nose at the same time.
7.   Repeat in the other nostril.
8.   Clean and dry the nozzle before replacing back the cap right after use.

To avoid possible spread of infection, the spray should only be used by one person.
