Yes, even with the use of PIRDAL, please continue to practise other preventive measures such as wearing face masks, social distancing, sanitizing frequently, getting vaccinated and so on.
In the event of infection, Pirdal does not prevent transmission.
10. When and where should I use PIRDAL Nasal Spray to protect myself?
It is strongly advisable to use PIRDAL at public spaces such as workplaces, hospitals and clinics, schools, shopping centers, markets, public transport, restaurants, gyms and gatherings, and especially during times like dining out when you need to take off your face masks, and individuals who frequent the hospitals or medical centers.
11. Can I use PIRDAL while using other treatments?
Yes, because PIRDAL is not absorbed by the body. However, for better effectiveness, we advise you not to use other nasal sprays for at least 30 minutes before using PIRDAL.
12. I had a runny nose and some irritation during the first 10 to 30 minutes when I used PIRDAL. Is this normal?
Yes, it is possible because PIRDAL attracts hypotonic fluid from the nasal mucosa, which can sometimes trigger a runny nose and generate a slight temporary nasal irritation. This is normal and related to the product’s mechanical mode of action. These effects should go away within 15-20 minutes, so we advise against blowing the nose strongly but just wipe off excess liquid from the nose gently with a clean tissue.
