Buccal Midazolam is a rescue medication which has become more widespread in recent years and which can be very important for people with epilepsy. It is administered during a seizure under medical advice and given promptly, helps to reduce seizure duration. This relatively simple procedure can prevent major disruption to daily life resulting from hospital emergency treatment that can result from a prolonged seizure.
However, it is important that parents of children with epilepsy know how to administer Buccal Midazolam correctly. This event, hosted by our Community Resource Officers for the Mid-West - Veronica Bon - will show parents in attendance how to administer Buccal Midazolam and outline best practice for the use of the medication. There will also be an opportunity for questions to be put forward.
Should you have any questions on this event, please do not hesitate to contact our Community Resource Officer Veronica by emailing vbon@epilepsy.ie.
We look forward to seeing parents on the morning.
