Your healthcare provider gave you a nasal spray to use if your child is having a seizure. There is only 1 dose of medicine in the nasal spray unit. When using the nasal spray for a seizure, be sure to put it in the nose only.

1. To open the nasal spray unit, hold the packaging in the palm of your hand.
2. Check the label to make sure you are giving the right medicine.
3. Peel back the tab to open it, and remove the nasal spray unit carefully. Do not press the plunger yet. If you press the plunger too soon, you will lose the dose.
4. Place the device into your child's nose.
5. Hold the nasal spray unit with your thumb on the plunger and your middle and index fingers on each side of the nozzle. When you are sure the device is correctly inserted in your child's nose, press the plunger.

Reminders

• Do not remove the nasal spray from its packaging until you're ready to use it.
• Do not use the nasal spray if the device looks damaged.
• Do not use the nasal spray past the expiration date printed on the packaging.
• Do not do a test spray of the nasal spray device before you use it. You will lose the dose.
• Throw away the nasal spray container after use.

What to do if the seizure doesn't stop:

If the seizure doesn't stop within 5 minutes after the first dose, call 911, then give a second dose with a new nasal spray unit in the other nostril.

• The seizure continues after you give your child the nasal spray as instructed by your healthcare provider.
• This seizure was different from other seizures your child has had. 
• You are worried about the number of seizures your child is having or their severity. 

• The seizure continues or your child has another seizure after you give a second dose of the nasal spray. 
• Your child has trouble breathing or is turning pale or blue.
• Make sure to tell the emergency responder the time you administered the first dose of nasal spray and the time you administered the second dose, if you did.
