MEDISTAT 1.25 NASAL SPRAY

How MEDISTAT 1.25 NASAL SPRAY Works

• MEDISTAT 1.25 NASAL SPRAY is a benzodiazepine (BZD) medication designed for rapid absorption. It is administered through the nose, where it's quickly absorbed into the bloodstream via the nasal mucosa.
• Once absorbed, MEDISTAT 1.25 NASAL SPRAY enhances the effects of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a crucial neurotransmitter in the brain. GABA functions as an inhibitory agent, meaning it helps to calm and regulate nerve cell activity.
• By increasing GABA's activity, MEDISTAT 1.25 NASAL SPRAY effectively reduces the excessive and abnormal electrical activity in the brain that leads to seizures. This calming effect helps to stop the seizure more quickly and allows the patient to recover faster.
• The nasal spray formulation allows for quicker absorption compared to oral medications, making it a valuable option for managing acute seizures when a rapid response is needed. The targeted action on GABA ensures that the medication directly addresses the underlying cause of seizure activity.

Most side effects are temporary and disappear as your body adapts to the medication. However, if these side effects persist or cause you concern, please consult your doctor.

• This medicine has a high potential for addiction. Use MEDISTAT 1.25 NASAL SPRAY strictly according to your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration. Do not exceed the prescribed dose or frequency, as this can increase the risk of dependence and adverse effects. Long-term use can lead to tolerance, requiring higher doses to achieve the same effect.
• MEDISTAT 1.25 NASAL SPRAY may cause dizziness. If you experience dizziness, avoid activities that require alertness or coordination, such as driving or operating machinery. Allow yourself time to adjust to the medication's effects before engaging in these activities. If dizziness persists or becomes severe, consult your doctor.
• Avoid alcohol consumption while using MEDISTAT 1.25 NASAL SPRAY, as it can intensify dizziness and drowsiness. Combining alcohol with this medication can impair your judgment and coordination, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries. Alcohol can also interfere with the medication's effectiveness.
• If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, inform your doctor before using MEDISTAT 1.25 NASAL SPRAY. This medication may have potential risks to the developing fetus or nursing infant. Your doctor can weigh the benefits and risks and recommend the most appropriate course of treatment for your situation. They may suggest alternative medications or strategies to manage your condition during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Do not abruptly stop taking MEDISTAT 1.25 NASAL SPRAY without consulting your doctor. Sudden discontinuation can lead to withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, anxiety, agitation, flu-like symptoms, sweating, tremors, and confusion. Your doctor can help you gradually reduce the dosage to minimize these symptoms and ensure a safe and comfortable transition off the medication. Following your doctor's guidance is crucial to prevent any adverse effects from stopping the medication suddenly.
