Constant Usage of the Midazolam Nasal Spray

Fri, 08/26/2016 - 23:26
Hello My daughter is 15 yrs old, has 2-3 seizures a day (complex partials lasting 1-2 minutes) BUT we have to use the midazolam nasal spray on her every 3-4 days to sedate her when her seizure continues over 5-7 minutes. I am very concerned we are using the MIDAZOLAM nasal spray so often though the doctors do not seem overtly concerned about it frown emoticon:-( Its been over 4 years now that we have using the spray Any thoughts ?! Regards karbhari
