Important Points to Remember About MIACALCIN Nasal Spray
| • | MIACALCIN Nasal Spray is dispensed in a fine mist—even if patients can't feel it, it's being absorbed |
|
– |
No need to inhale during administration |
| – |
Won't drip down the back of the throat like most over-the-counter nasal sprays |
| • | Prime the bottle only once—when it is first opened and assembled |
|
– |
When a fine mist is visible, the bottle is primed |
| – |
The pump should not be reprimed before each daily use, as this will waste the medication |
| • | Each metered-dose spray offers the proper amount of medication—200 IU per spray |
|
– |
At least 30 days' supply is included in each bottle |
| – |
Extra medication has been included to accommodate the initial priming |
| • | Store unopened bottles in the refrigerator—not the freezer |
| • | Opened bottles in use should be stored upright at room temperature—(not to exceed 77°F (25°C)) |
|
– |
The protective cap should be on the bottle whenever it is not in use |
| – |
A bottle should not be stored on its side or in its plastic tray after it has been assembled or it may need to be reprimed |
| • | Discard all unrefrigerated bottles after 35 days—whether opened or unopened |
|
– |
Refrigerated bottles are good until the expiration date stamped on the bottle and box |
| • | Clean the unit regularly—to help keep it sanitary |
|
– |
Once or twice a week, the nozzle should be wiped with a clean, damp cloth, then dried before replacing the protective cap |
