Xhance Dosage

Recommended Dosage

The recommended dosage of XHANCE is 186 mcg (1 spray per nostril) or 372 mcg (2 sprays per nostril) twice daily (total daily dose of 372 mcg or 744 mcg). The maximum total daily dosage should not exceed 2 sprays in each nostril twice daily (total daily dose of 744 mcg).

Patients should use XHANCE at regular intervals since its effectiveness depends on regular use. Individual patients will experience a variable time to onset and different degrees of symptom relief.

The safety and efficacy of XHANCE when administered in excess of recommended doses have not been established.

Administration Information

•

Shake XHANCE before each use.

•

Administer XHANCE by the nasal route only. Avoid spraying directly on the nasal septum.

Priming

Before initial use, prime XHANCE by first gently shaking and then pressing the bottle 7 times or until a fine mist appears. Direct the spray into the air, away from the face. When XHANCE has not been used for ≥ 7 days, prime the pump again by shaking and releasing 2 sprays into the air, away from the face.

Administration Instructions

XHANCE is delivered into the nose by actuating the pump spray into one nostril while simultaneously blowing (exhaling) into the mouthpiece of the device. To administer XHANCE, insert the tapered tip of the cone-shaped nosepiece deep into one nostril and form a tight seal between the nosepiece and the nostril. Next, place the flexible mouthpiece into the mouth, bending it as necessary to maintain a tight seal with the nostril. Blow into the mouthpiece, and while continuing to blow, push the bottle up to actuate the spray pump. Continuing to blow through the mouth, but not inhaling or exhaling through the nose, at the time of actuation is important to achieve intended drug deposition. Repeat the process in the other nostril for a full dose [see Instructions for Use].
