Stimate®
(desmopressin acetate) Nasal Spray, 1.5 mg/mL

A better way to deliver desmopressin acetate

Delivering desmopressin acetate more efficiently

Your doctor has prescribed Stimate® Nasal Spray for the treatment of mild hemophilia A or mild to moderate von Willebrand's disease (Type 1). Follow the dosage schedule that is specified. The convenient nasal spray pump provides an efficient, reliable way to administer your medication. It is important, however, to adhere completely to the following instructions so that you will always receive a consistent dose of your medication.

CAUTION: The nasal spray pump accurately delivers 25 doses of 150 micrograms per spray. Any solution remaining after 25 sprays should be discarded since the amount delivered thereafter per spray may be substantially less than 150 micrograms of drug. Do not transfer any remaining solution to another bottle. Please read the following instructions carefully before using the spray pump.

Using your Stimate® Nasal Spray Pump

1. Remove protective cap.

2. When using for the first time, the spray pump must be primed by pressing down 4 times.

3. Once primed, the spray pump delivers 150 micrograms of medication each time it is pressed. To ensure dosing accuracy, tilt bottle so that dip tube inside the bottle draws from the deepest portion of the medication.

To administer a 150-microgram dose, place the spray nozzle in nostril and press the spray pump once. If a 300-microgram dose has been prescribed, spray once in each nostril. The spray pump cannot be used for doses less than 150 micrograms or doses other than multiples of 150 micrograms.

4. Replace the protective cap on bottle after use, and store at room temperature not to exceed 25°C (77°F). If the product has not been used for a period of one week, re-prime the pump by pressing once.

5. We have included a convenient check-off chart to assist you in keeping track of medication sprays used. This will help assure that you receive 25 “full sprays” of medication. Please note that the bottle has been filled with extra solution to accommodate the priming activity. When checking off sprays used, do not include the priming sprays.
