About Midacip Nasal Spray 5 ml

Midacip Nasal Spray 5 ml belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines used for the short-term treatment of seizure clusters. Seizure clusters are episodes of elevated seizure activity, defined as two or more seizures occurring within a 24-hour period. They are upsetting situations that can leave you feeling anxious, frustrated, or helpless.

Midacip Nasal Spray 5 ml contains Midazolam which works by increasing GABA activity (a chemical messenger in the brain). Thus, Midacip Nasal Spray 5 ml suppresses the excessive and abnormal activity of nerve cells in the brain and controls fits.
