Medistat 0.5 mg Nasal Spray is used for the short-term treatment of seizure clusters, which are sudden and repetitive seizures (fits). It contains Midazolam, a medication that works by increasing the activity of a chemical messenger in the brain called GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). This helps calm the nerves and suppress the excessive and abnormal activity of nerve cells in the brain to control seizures.

• How to use: The spray is administered by inserting the nozzle into the nostril, squeezing, and inhaling as directed by a doctor.
• Important: This medication is generally not recommended for children under 12 years old unless specifically prescribed by a specialist.
• Side effects: Possible side effects include headache, drowsiness, runny nose, throat irritation, and nasal discomfort. Most side effects are mild and resolve over time.
• Precautions: Inform the doctor if the child has allergies to Midazolam or other medications, or if there are any other health concerns.

Because this medication is potent and used for serious conditions like seizures, it is crucial to use it only under the guidance of a pediatric neurologist or pediatrician. Please consult your child's doctor before using Medistat 0.5 mg Nasal Spray to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your baby’s condition.

If you notice any worsening symptoms or unusual reactions, seek medical attention promptly.
