Important information about some of the ingredients

PLANTSPRAY contains a small amount of ethanol, less than 100 mg for 2 sprays. Each ml of PLANTSPRAY contains 0.25 ml of ethanol, which may be a cause of risk in children, pregnant women and patients with liver disease, alcoholism, epilepsy, brain damage or injury.

It may modify or potentiate the effect of other medicines.

PLANTSPRAY containing glycerol as an excipient may be harmful at high doses and may cause headache, stomach upset and diarrhoea.

Place the inhaler mouthpiece horizontally and direct it towards the affected area. Press down on the top of the canister and hold the bottle upright. Before the first use, prime the pump by pressing 3 or 4 times outside the mouth.
