A few things to know before you or someone else administers NAYZILAM® (midazolam) nasal spray, CIV, so everyone can feel more comfortable using it.
NAYZILAM is a prescription medicine used for the short-term treatment of seizure clusters (also known as acute repetitive seizures) in patients 12 years of age and older.
NAYZILAM is a benzodiazepine medicine. Taking benzodiazepines with opioid medicines, alcohol, or other central nervous system depressants (including street drugs) can cause severe drowsiness, breathing problems (respiratory depression), coma, and death. There is a risk of abuse, misuse, and addiction with benzodiazepines, including NAYZILAM, which can lead to overdose and serious side effects including coma and death. Benzodiazepines, including NAYZILAM, can cause physical dependence and withdrawal reactions, especially if you continue to use NAYZILAM daily. NAYZILAM is not intended for daily use. NAYZILAM may cause serious breathing problems and excessive sleepiness (sedation). Like other antiepileptic drugs, NAYZILAM may cause suicidal thoughts or actions. Do not use NAYZILAM if you have an eye problem called acute narrow-angle glaucoma. Taking NAYZILAM late in pregnancy may cause your baby to have symptoms of sedation (breathing problems, sluggishness, low muscle tone), and/or withdrawal symptoms (jitteriness, irritability, restlessness, shaking, excessive crying, feeding problems). Breastfeeding during treatment with NAYZILAM may cause your baby to have sleepiness, feeding problems, and decreased weight gain. Do not drive, operate machinery, or do other activities that require mental alertness until you know how NAYZILAM affects you. The most common side effects of NAYZILAM include sleepiness, nasal discomfort, headache, throat irritation and runny nose.
