**USAGE**

**HOW TO USE DIFFLAM THROAT NUMBING SPRAY**
To use the spray, hold the bottle in an upright position.
Lift the spray-tube through 90 until it is horizontal.
The first time you use the spray you need to prime it. Point the spray-tube away from your face. Press down firmly on the green plunger until a fine spray appears from the end of the spray-tube. The spray is now ready to use.
Aim the spray-tube at the sore part of your mouth or throat and press down on the green plunger again. One press releases one puff.
After spraying the desired number of puffs, wipe the end of the spray-tube with a tissue. This helps to stop it becoming blocked.
Push the spray-tube back down as shown in the diagram. This stops any puffs being accidentally released.
Do not push anything into the end of spray-tube if it becomes blocked. Return the spray to your pharmacist
