how to open benzedrex nasal decongestant inhaler

To open and use a Benzedrex Nasal Decongestant Inhaler, follow these steps:

1. Inspect the Packaging:
   • Examine the packaging to ensure it’s sealed and hasn’t been tampered with. Ensure the product is not expired.
2. Unscrew the Cap:
   • The Benzedrex Nasal Decongestant Inhaler comes in a small container with a screw-on cap. Hold the base of the container with one hand and use your other hand to twist the cap counterclockwise (to the left) to unscrew it.
3. Remove the Inhaler:
   • Once the cap is removed, you’ll see the nasal inhaler inside the container. Gently pull out the inhaler.
4. Inspect the Inhaler:
   • Examine the inhaler to locate the cotton wick soaked in the medication.
5. Hold the Inhaler Properly:
   • Hold the inhaler with the wick side up and the handle or top part in your hand.
6. Insert the Inhaler:
   • Insert the wick end of the inhaler into one nostril, while holding the other nostril closed with your finger.
7. Inhale Gently:
   • Breathe in gently through your open nostril as you slowly and deeply inhale the vapors from the soaked wick. Do not inhale too forcefully to avoid irritation.
8. Remove the Inhaler:
   • After inhaling, remove the inhaler from your nostril.
9. Switch Nostrils (if needed):
   • If you need to treat the other nostril, switch to the other side and insert the wick end into the second nostril.
10. Replace the Cap:
    • After use, insert the inhaler back into the container, wick-side down, and replace the cap on the container.
11. Securely Screw the Cap Back On:
    • Twist the cap clockwise (to the right) to securely screw it back onto the container. This helps prevent evaporation and maintains the freshness of the product.
12. Store the Product:
    • Store the Benzedrex Nasal Decongestant Inhaler in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
13. Dispose Properly:
    • When you have finished using the product, dispose of it in accordance with local regulations for medication disposal.

Please use Benzedrex Nasal Decongestant Inhaler as directed on the packaging and consult the product’s label or a healthcare professional for specific dosing and usage instructions. Be cautious not to overuse nasal decongestants, as prolonged or excessive use can lead to rebound congestion or other side effects.
