Is Nayzilam (midazolam nasal spray) a controlled substance?
Yes. Nayzilam contains midazolam, which is a benzodiazepine. Benzodiazepines are controlled under U.S. federal drug laws, so Nayzilam is treated as a controlled substance.
What is its federal controlled-substance schedule?
Nayzilam is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance in the United States because it contains midazolam (a Schedule IV benzodiazepine).
Why is Nayzilam controlled?
As a benzodiazepine, midazolam has potential for misuse, dependence, and withdrawal. Those risks are the main reasons benzodiazepines are scheduled under federal law.
What this means for patients and pharmacies
Because it’s Schedule IV, Nayzilam is subject to standard controlled-substance rules, which can include tighter prescribing and dispensing practices than non-controlled medications.
