How do you use zomig nasal spray?

Question

do you sniff? do you put a squirt in each nostril?
i hae a 5mg sample...
but lost the instructions.

Answer 1

I put one finger over the nostril that I am not going to squirt into, exhale and put the applicator in the other nostil and push the bottom of the applicator up then massage that nostril for a couple of seconds. I only use it in one nostril, the side where my migraine is and find that it ususally works within a few minutes.

The visual aura leads me to think that you may have a migraine; it's a common symptom. Other symptoms are pain on only one side of the head (especially "behind" an eye), sensitivity to light and noise, nausea and vomiting. One key symptom/attribute of a migraine headache is that it often goes away completely if the patient can sleep even for a few minutes. If that sounds familiar, then chances are that you have a migraine. Getting into a cool, dark, quiet place helps many people. Caffeine does help some people as well. Signs that you DON'T have a migraine include a headache that is helped by heat, or a headache that is on both sides of your head, especially the forehead, or just below the eyes. Headaches that produce those symptoms are almost always sinus headaches. If you are concerned, then you should go to an ER - that's what they're there for! Hope you feel better soon.
