Abstract
A method for nasal application of a medicinal substance by applying the substance through the nose in a maximum amount that is insufficient to stimulate an excretory response that would clear a significant portion of the substance from nasal and sinus passages. Within a time period of less than one hour, the application of the substance through the nose in an amount that is insufficient to stimulate an excretory response that would clear a significant portion of the substance from nasal and sinus passages is repeated. The repeated application, at a minimum, is done a sufficient number of times to provide an effective total dose of the substance. The repeated application, in any case, is done at least once.
