midazolam Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What dosages is midazolam available in?
midazolam is available as a single-dose nasal spray unit containing 5 mg midazolam per 0.1 mL solution.
What is midazolam used for?
midazolam is a benzodiazepine and is used to treat seizure attacks in people with epilepsy who are 12 years of age and older.
How does midazolam work?
midazolam is a benzodiazepine. It’s thought to slow down activity in your brain to help stop seizures.
How do I take midazolam?
midazolam is dosed as follows:
- Adults and children 12 years of age and older: Spray 1 dose (5 mg) into one nostril. After 10 minutes, if the seizure isn’t controlled, spray a second dose into the other nostril. Don’t use more than 2 doses of midazolam to treat a seizure attack
- It isn’t recommended to use midazolam more than once every 3 days or more than 5 times in a month. Talk to your provider if you or your child has a seizure attack more often than this because it means that your seizures aren’t well controlled. Your provider will need to adjust your daily seizure medications so that the attacks happen less often
