nasal spray
This term refers specifically to the delivery mechanism and the medication combined. In a clinical or pharmaceutical context, it is distinguished from nasal drops, which are administered as liquid droplets rather than a fine mist. The term is neutral in register and is used equally in professional medical consultations and casual pharmacy interactions.
Because it describes a physical product, it is treated as a standard countable noun. Users typically refer to "a spray" when discussing a single bottle or "sprays" when comparing different brands or types of medication.
