Ok to swallow: Some of the medication will often drip because it is a liquid, either out the nose or down the throat. I wouldn't worry about it. You could spit it out if u want

Brittany6: You are using your nasal spray the wrong way. Do not tilt your head back. Head down (nose to toes) spray away from the septum(midline) againt the nostril.
