We previously performed a small-scale study and identified nasal drug delivery devices that were difficult for children to use. In the present study, we expanded the scale of the study to assess the usability of nasal drug delivery devices and factors that affect usability. Five metered-dose spray devices were selected (A-E); devices A-C had a volume of 30mL, whereas D-E had a volume of 15mL per device. Among OTC medications commonly available, there are some nasal drug delivery devices that children are unable to use even though they are of the appropriate age to use the device.
