Key Points:
- Only 1 patient out of 99, used steroid nasal spray with a completely
correct spray technique.
- Nasal spray technique was taught only to 40% of the patients
- 70% of the patients reported regular use of the steroid nose spray
and 53% of patients were found to use correct spray dosage.
- Wrong spray technique and non-compliance can be the reason behind the
treatment failure with steroid nasal spray.
- We recommend following “British Society for Allergy and Clinical
Immunology-how to apply a nasal spray” and/or video instruction from
“asthma.org.uk- how to use nasal spray” for the correct spray
technique.
