Emergency medication for epilepsy – new booklets released
The National Society for Epilepsy (NSE) has produced two new booklets to help people with emergency medication for epilepsy.
‘Emergency Medication – using buccal midazolam to treat prolonged seizures’ and ‘Emergency Medication – using rectal diazepam to treat prolonged seizures’ are both now available.
As well as information about status epilepticus (‘status’) and how it is treated, the booklets cover issues such as protocols for emergency medication, training in giving emergency medication, correct dosage and a step by step guides on how to give both buccal midazolam and rectal diazepam.
To find out more information about these booklets or any other information on epilepsy contact the National Society for Epilepsy’s helpline on 01494 601400 or visit our online shop.
