Nafarelin Nasl
Generic Name: NAFARELIN ACETATE SPRAY - NASAL
Pronounced: (naff-uh-RELL-in A-seh-tate)
Nafarelin Nasl Uses
Nafarelin is used in women to treat a condition in which the
tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows in the
wrong place (endometriosis). This medication helps to decrease the
abnormal tissue and also the symptoms of endometriosis (e.g.,
pelvic pain, painful menstrual cramps, and pain during/after
sex).
This medication is also used in children to treat a certain type
of early puberty (central precocious puberty,
gonadotropin-dependent). It helps to slow the bone aging and height
growth rate so that it is near normal and to stop or reverse signs
of early puberty (e.g., breast growth in girls, growth of sexual
organs in boys).
Nafarelin is a man-made hormone that is similar to a natural
hormone made by the body (gonadotropin-releasing hormone-GnRH). It
works by decreasing the testosterone hormones in boys and estrogen
hormones in women and girls.
How To Use Nafarelin Nasl
Read the Patient Information Leaflet, which contains
instructions for proper use of this medication. Learn all
preparation and usage instructions. Consult your doctor or
pharmacist if you have any questions.
Follow the instructions on how to properly prime the bottle if
you are using it for the first time.
Gently blow your nose before using this drug. For very young
children, it may be necessary to clear the nose with a bulb
syringe.
Use this medication usually twice daily (about every 12 hours)
as directed by your doctor. If you are using more than 1 spray at a
time, wait 30 seconds between each spray. Avoid spraying this
medication in your eyes. Also, avoid sneezing during or immediately
after using this medication because this may decrease the amount of
medication absorbed. Follow the detailed instructions for using the
spray and cleaning the spray tip. It is important to clean the
spray tip after each use.
Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to
therapy. The length of therapy for women taking this medication for
endometriosis is 6 months unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
The length of therapy for children taking this medication for early
puberty depends on when the doctor decides it is appropriate for
puberty to resume.
