Your azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate nasal spray pump. (See Figure A)

Figure A
Instructions for Using Your Azelastine Hydrochloride and Fluticasone Propionate Nasal Spray Pump.
Before you use azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate nasal spray for the first time, you will need to shake the bottle gently and prime the pump.
For use in young children: An adult should help a young child use azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate nasal spray. (See Steps 1 through 12).
Priming your azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate nasal spray pump
Before you prime the bottle, shake it gently.
Step 1.
Remove the clear plastic dust cap from the spray pump tip of the bottle. (See Figure B)

Figure B
Step 2.
Hold the bottle upright with two fingers on the shoulders of the spray pump unit and put your thumb on the bottom of the bottle. Press upward with your thumb and release for the pumping action.
- •
- Repeat the pumping action until you see a fine mist. You should see a fine mist of the medicine after 6 pumps or less. (See Figure C)
- •
- To get a fine mist of medicine, you must repeat the pumping action fast and use firm pressure against the bottom of the bottle.
- •
- If you see a stream of liquid, the spray will not work right and may cause nasal discomfort.
- •
- If you do not use azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate nasal spray for 14 or more days, you will need to shake the bottle gently, and prime the pump with 1 spray or until you see a fine mist. If you do not see a fine mist, clean the tip of the spray nozzle. See the cleaning section below.
- •
- Once you see the fine mist of medicine, your azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate nasal spray pump is ready for use.

Figure C
Using your azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate nasal spray:
For use in young children: An adult should help a young child use azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate nasal spray.
Step 3.
Gently blow your nose to clear nostrils. (See Figure D)

Figure D
Step 4.
Shake the bottle gently. Close 1 nostril with a finger. Tilt your head forward slightly. Keep the bottle upright and carefully place the spray pump tip ¼ to ½ inch into your other nostril. (See Figure E)

Figure E
Step 5.
For each spray firmly press the pump 1 time. Keep your head tilted down and at the same time, gently breathe in through your nostril. (See Figure F)
Do not spray directly onto the nasal septum (the wall between your 2 nostrils).
- •
- Repeat Step 5 in your other nostril.
- •
- Do not tilt your head back. This will help to keep the medicine from going into your throat.
- •
- If the medicine goes into your throat you may get a bitter taste in your mouth. This is normal.

Figure F
Step 6.
When you finish using azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate nasal spray, wipe the spray tip with a clean tissue or cloth. Put the dust cap back on the spray pump tip of the bottle. (See Figure G)

Figure G
Each bottle of azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate nasal spray contains enough medicine for you to spray medicine from the bottle 120 times. After initial priming, do not use your bottle of azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate nasal spray after 120 sprays. You may not receive the right amount of medicine. Keep track of the number of sprays you use from your bottle of azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate nasal spray and throw away the bottle even if it has medicine left in it.
Do not count any sprays used for initially priming the bottle.
Cleaning the Spray Pump Tip:
Your azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate nasal spray should be cleaned at least 1 time each week. To do this:
Step 7.
Remove the dust cap and then gently pull upward on the spray pump unit to remove it from the bottle. (See Figure H)

Figure H
Step 8.
Wash the spray pump unit and dust cap in warm tap water. (See Figure I)

Figure I
Step 9.
Allow to dry completely. When dry, place the spray pump unit and dust cap back on the bottle. (See Figure J)

Figure J
Step 10.
If the spray pump unit becomes blocked, it can be removed as instructed above in Step 7 and placed in warm water to soak.
Do not try to unblock the spray pump unit by inserting a pin or other sharp object. This will damage the spray pump unit and cause you not to get the right dose of medicine.
Step 11.
After the spray pump unit is unblocked, rinse the applicator and cap with cold water, and allow them to dry as in Step 10 above. When dry, place the spray pump unit back on the bottle and put the dust cap on the spray pump tip.
Step 12.
Reprime the bottle as in Steps 1 and 2 above. Replace the dust cap and your azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate nasal spray is ready for use.
