Introduction:
Midaspray 0.5mg Nasal Spray is taken under the supervision of a healthcare professional only or used after the proper guidance of a doctor. Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor as it has a high potential of habit-forming. If you have missed a dose, take it as soon as you remember it and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. This medication mustn't be stopped suddenly without talking to your doctor as it may cause nausea and anxiety. Side effects of this medicine include sleepiness, headache, nasal discomfort, throat irritation, and rhinorrhea (runny nose). Do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. These side effects are usually short-lasting and resolve on their own. Consult your doctor if they bother you or do not go away. Do inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or breastfeeding before taking this medicine.

How to Use:
Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Insert the bottle tip into one nostril and close the other nostril. Direct the spray towards the sides of your nostril away from the cartilage dividing the two sides of your nose. As you spray, breath gently and keep the head upright. Repeat the same process for the other nostrils.
How it Works:
Midaspray 0.5mg Nasal Spray is a benzodiazepine (BZD). It is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream through the inner lining of the nose. Once absorbed, it works by increasing the action of GABA, a chemical messenger that suppresses the abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells in the brain. This helps the patient to recover from a seizure faster.
