As dermal applications are often difficult to apply from an upright position, Bona Pharma has developed an upside-down pharmaceutical spray pump. The upside-down system can be used with nasal, oral or topical actuators, and the dosage can be customized. Consumers can spray either upright or upside-down based on the application need, plus it can also can be adapted to fit different volume and neck sizes of both plastic and glass bottles.
Bona's Upside-Down Spray Pump can be dispensed in inverted positions for nasal, oral or dermal applications

Upside-down spray pumps are often used for drugs that require easy application to hard-to-reach areas or precise delivery. Some examples of drug and medical products that can benefit from delivery with upside-down spray pumps include:
Topical Pain Relief Sprays: Medications like lidocaine or menthol-based sprays for pain relief can be applied directly to difficult-to-reach areas like the back or lower legs using upside-down pumps.
Nasal Sprays: Certain nasal decongestants or corticosteroids (e.g., fluticasone) can come in upside-down spray pumps to ensure even distribution of the formulation inside the nasal cavity.
Throat Sprays: Medicated throat sprays, such as those containing antiseptics or anesthetics (e.g., phenol), often use upside-down spray pumps for easy and targeted application to the back of the throat.
Wound Care Sprays: Antiseptics or wound-healing sprays can be applied to hard-to-reach wounds, like on the feet or back, using this mechanism.
Dermatological Sprays: Medications and treatments for skin conditions, such as antifungal sprays or steroids for rashes and eczema, are often applied using upside-down spray pumps for better skin coverage.
