What is the rescue dose for nayzilam?

What is the rescue dose for Nayzilam (midazolam) for seizures?

Nayzilam (midazolam) is used as a rescue medicine for a breakthrough seizure. The rescue dose is one nasal spray of 5 mg in one nostril. If needed, a second dose can be given later (typically after at least 10 minutes) using a new nasal spray.

How soon can you give a second dose?

If the first dose does not stop the seizure or seizure activity returns, clinicians and the product labeling commonly allow a second 5 mg nasal spray after at least 10 minutes, using a new device.

What should you know about dosing limits?

Nayzilam is prescribed for breakthrough “rescue” use, not routine daily dosing. Patients generally should follow their clinician’s plan and the medication guide about when and how many doses to use in a given time period.

Is the dose different for adults vs children?

Dosing guidance depends on the patient’s age and the specific product labeling for Nayzilam. For questions about age-based dosing or for a child’s dose, it’s important to follow the prescriber’s instructions and the full prescribing information.

Where can you check the exact labeled dosing instructions?

For the most precise dosing directions (including timing and dose limits), check the prescribing information for Nayzilam.
