Composition:
- the active substance is xylometazoline hydrochloride. 1 ml of nasal solution spray contains xylometazoline hydrochloride 0.5 mg. Each spray (about 0.09 ml of solution) contains xylometazoline hydrochloride 0.045 mg.

Unless otherwise prescribed by a doctor, children 2 to 6 years of age should be given 1 puff of SNUP Nasal Spray in each nostril as needed up to three times a day.
SNUP is indicated for nasal administration.
Remove the plastic cap from the dropper. For the first administration, spray at least five puffs into the air until a consistent mist of spray solution is obtained. For all subsequent administrations, the nasal spray is ready to use on the first spray.

- if the spray has not been used for 4 to 14 days: 1 puff sprayed into the air
- if the spray has not been used for more than 14 days: 5 puffs sprayed in the air
Clean the outside of the applicator tip with a soft, clean tissue before replacing the cap, immediately after use.
