Research confirms benefits of side-actuated nasal spray
Valois Pharma's side-actuated nasal spray has excellent ergonomics, is comfortable to handle and easy to actuate, research by the French pharmaceutical company reveals.
The side-actuated nasal spray consists of a standard actuator coupled with a customisable shell and cap.
The research, carried out in the UK last November involving 10 regular nasal spray users, as well as six doctors (GPs and ENT specialists), showed that the side-actuated delivery device has the three advantages mentioned above.
Patients also thought a slightly longer nozzle would improve the placement of the device in the nostril when the device is actuated, and Valois will further investigate this.
The company says new user research will be carried out in the US in the coming months to confirm the results of the current study.
