WHY DOSING FLEXIBILITY CAN MATTER

Many patients may use INS sprays incorrectly, reaching for them only when symptoms arise.
Of the nasal spray users (n=732) in a survey, conducted by Bayer®, of patients taking medication for their allergies (N=1202)1:

  • 42% said they administer INS sprays “some days and not others”
  • More than one-third reported administering a spray as soon as they experienced symptoms

 

INS, intranasal steroid.
*In a survey of allergy patients that included nasal spray users (n=732), 42% of patients said they administer their INS “some days and not others.”
