Troubleshooting

Spray nozzle is blocked or not producing a fine mist.

Gently wipe the nozzle with a clean, damp cloth. If the issue persists, try re-priming the pump by spraying several times into the air. Ensure the bottle is stored correctly and not exposed to extreme temperatures which could dry out residue.

Experiencing no relief from symptoms after initial use.

Benacort may take a few days of consistent, daily use to reach its full therapeutic effect. Continue using as directed for at least 3-5 days. If symptoms do not improve or worsen, consult a healthcare professional.

Accidental spraying into eyes.

Rinse eyes immediately with plenty of clean water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.

Bottle feels empty but still contains some liquid.

Nasal spray bottles are designed to deliver a specific number of doses. Even if some liquid remains, it may not be enough to produce a full spray. Replace the bottle as per the dosage instructions.
