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, thereby controlling seizures.

Important points to know:

• Usage: It is administered by inserting the nozzle into the nostril, squeezing the spray, and inhaling.
• Indication: Specifically used to manage seizure clusters, not for general nasal congestion.
• Safety: The safety and effectiveness of Medistat 0.5 mg Nasal Spray have not been established for children under 12 years, so its use in a 1-year-old should only be under strict medical supervision.
• Side effects: May include headache, drowsiness, runny nose, throat irritation, and nasal discomfort. If these worsen or persist, consult a doctor.
• Precautions: Inform the doctor if the child has allergies to Midazolam or other medications, or if there are other health concerns.

Because this medication is potent and intended for seizure control, it is crucial to use it only as prescribed by a pediatric neurologist or a specialist experienced in managing seizures in young children.

If you have concerns or questions about using Medistat 0.5 mg Nasal Spray for your child, please consult your child's pediatric neurologist for personalized advice and safe treatment options. In case of emergency, contact Apollo Emergency at 1066.
