How to use this product
Always use Lemsip First Action Nasal Spray exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you. Spray once into each nostril while holding the other nostril closed, several times a day, or as required.
To prime pump, remove cap and, while holding the bottle upright, spray into the air until a uniform mist is released. Insert the spray head carefully and not too deep into the nose. Tilt the head forward and spray one puff into one nostril while holding the other nostril closed. Repeat with the opposite nostril. Wipe the nozzle clean after use and replace the protective cap.
How does Lemsip First Action Nasal Spray work?
Containing the active ingredient carragelose, it gets to work in just three simple steps. It forms a shielding layer in your nose to help trap viruses so they can’t infect healthy cells. These trapped virus particles are then cleared naturally through the nose, relieving your cold symptoms.
