How deep can the nasal spray tip be inserted into the nose during administration?

The proper depth for inserting the nasal spray tip during administration is typically about 1 cm into the nostril. This is considered sufficient to allow the medication to be delivered effectively while also minimizing the risk of discomfort or injury to the nasal passages. Inserting the tip deeper than this can lead to adverse effects, such as irritation or damage to the sensitive nasal mucosa or even bypassing the intended absorption site, which could diminish the effectiveness of the medication.

Understanding this guideline is crucial for ensuring safe and effective medication delivery via the nasal route, as correct technique not only enhances absorption but also occurs with minimal discomfort for the patient.
