 -BEGINNING-

Traction of the vertex of the

nose upwards and backwards
favors the instillation of drops
into the nasal cavity.
Advantages and Disadvantages
ADVANTAGES
•Favors the correct instillation of the
medicine in the nasal cavity.
•Favours rapid relief by exerting a
local action.
• Being the ideal systematic
absorption to cure infections.
•Does not cause discomfort to the
patient during its administration
DISADVANTAGES
• Excessive absorption of drugs
through the nose and pharynx can
produce symptoms of
intoxication.•Bad application can
contaminate the medication
container.•Depending on the
medicine you can feel the bitter
taste of it in the throat.
Considerations
● Before using the nasal drops, observe the
bottle and the expiration date.
● The drops should fall into the back of the
nose and not down the throat.
● You will breathe through your mouth so you
don't smell the droplets or breathe them into
your lungs.
● Nasal drops are easily contaminated, you
should not buy more containers, so they are
used in a short time.
● Do not share the container with other people.
