The flu shot is an inactivated vaccine (containing a killed virus) while the nasal-spray flu vaccine (sometimes called LAIV for live attenuated influenza vaccine) contains a weakened live virus. Since the flu shot is made from the killed influenza virus, it can't give you the flu. You could have side effects from the flu shot, however. These might include a sore arm, fever, and body aches, but they'll last for only a day or so and will be much milder than flu symptoms. See similar questions...

Rhinaris will hydrate and moisturize the nasal membrane, reducing the irritation and dryness caused by corticosteroid therapy. Thus, allowing for an increased absorption of the corticosteroid and potentially to a reduced need or dosage. To optimize the use of corticosteroids, use Rhinaris 5 minutes before administering the steroid in the morning and continue using Rhinaris as often as needed, up to 3-4 times daily.

effective doses, dDAVP tablets are not less expensive than dDAVP nasal spray. They are more convenient and often as effective as the spray.
