You will notice a small window on the side of the device; this is a dose indicator. Initially, the window is green. After several uses, the window will turn yellow. It is a sign that it will soon be time to replace your aerosol. If you continue to use the device, the window will turn red and the dose indicator will display "0". At this point, you need to throw away your spray, even if the device does not appear to be empty. Otherwise, you may not receive an adequate dose.
Never share a nasal aerosol.
