My child is 3 years old. The doctor has advised using Insed Nasal Spray, but the product description states it should not be used in children under 12 years old. What should I do?

The label mentions that it should not be used in children below 12 years, which is different from your child’s age of 3 years. In such cases, doctors may sometimes prescribe medicines outside the labelled age range based on clinical judgment and the child’s specific condition. However, since there is a clear difference between the label recommendation and your child’s age, it is important to reconfirm with the prescribing doctor before continuing use. Do not start or continue the spray unless the doctor has clearly advised it for your child’s age and explained the correct dose and safety.

It is important to follow the safety guidelines on the product, which state that Insed Nasal Spray (Midazolam 0.5 mg/ml) is not recommended for children under 12 years because its safety and effectiveness have not been established in this age group.

⚠️ What You Should Do

  • Contact the prescribing doctor immediately to clarify why this medication was recommended despite the age restriction.
  • Do not use the spray on your child until you have confirmation and guidance from the doctor.
  • Ask the doctor if there is a safer, approved alternative treatment for your child's condition.

🩺 When to See a Doctor

  • If your child has ongoing seizures or worsening symptoms, seek urgent medical advice.
  • Always follow the specialist pediatric neurologist’s or pediatrician’s instructions for seizure management.

Consult your child’s pediatrician or a pediatric neurologist promptly to ensure safe and appropriate treatment.
