Proper use is essential for medication effectiveness, comfort, and safety. This guide page from King’s Pharmacy and Compounding Center brings together pharmacist-led video tutorials designed to support correct use of medications, medical devices, and specialty treatments.
Created as a practical resource for patients, prescribers, and healthcare teams, these videos provide clear, step-by-step instruction for commonly prescribed and compounded therapies. Each guide reflects our commitment to patient education, clinical accuracy, and real-world usability.
Whether you are learning how to use a treatment for the first time or sharing instructions with a patient or caregiver, this resource offers reliable guidance directly from compounding experts you can trust.
Step 1 – Please wash your hands. Fill the clean bottle with the designated volume of distilled, microfiltered (through a 0.2 micron filter), reverse osmosis filtered, commercially bottled, or previously boiled and cooled down water.
*You may warm the water in a microwave in increments of 5 to 10 seconds to avoid overheating the water, damaging the device or scalding your nasal passage.
Step 2 – Open the salt mixture packet at the corner and pour its contents into the bottle. Add any medication that the doctor told you to add. Tighten the cap and tube on the bottle securely. Place one finger over the tip of the cap and shake the bottle gently to dissolve the mixture.
Step 3 – Standing in front of a sink, bend forward to your comfort level and tilt your head down. Keeping your mouth open, without holding your breath, place the cap snugly against your nasal passage. SQUEEZE BOTTLE GENTLY until the solution starts draining from the OPPOSITE nasal passage. Some may drain from your mouth. For a proper rinse, keep squeezing the bottle GENTLY until at least 1/2 of the bottle is used. Rinse the other 1/2 bottle in the other nostril. Do not swallow the solution.
A suppository is a solid, medicated dosage form designed to be inserted into the rectum, vagina, or urethra. Once inside the body, it melts or dissolves and releases medication for local or systemic absorption. Suppositories are commonly prepared by compounding pharmacies when patients need customized treatments that cannot be taken orally.
