Effectiveness
How Nayzilam Affects PatientsMidazolam is a short-acting medicine that relaxes the central nervous system and reduces anxiety. It works by binding to GABA receptors, which are responsible for controlling certain brain functions. After taking midazolam, adults usually start feeling sedated within 15 minutes, with peak effects occurring 30-60 minutes later. In children, the sedative effects usually begin in 5 minutes and peak in 15-30 minutes. When injected, the effects are felt much faster, with sedation starting in 3-5 minutes. Midazolam can also be used to induce anesthesia, with the effects taking place in about 1.5 minutes
How Nayzilam works in the bodyMidazolam works by enhancing the activity of the neurotransmitter GABA. GABA is a calming chemical in the brain, and midazolam increases its effects. This leads to a sedative effect, muscle relaxation, and can even cause you to forget things. Midazolam acts on special receptors in the body, mainly concentrated in the brain, which allow it to interact with GABA and increase its effects.

Nayzilam Toxicity & Overdose RiskThe lethal dose of midazolam for rats has been found to be 215mg/kg. Signs of overdose can include drowsiness, confusion, clumsiness, coma, and changes in vital signs. Severe breathing or heart complications can occur, sometimes leading to death or permanent damage. If someone overdoses on midazolam, they should be monitored closely and given resuscitative drugs if necessary. People over 60, those with chronic illnesses or substance abuse problems, and children should take lower doses and be monitored more closely. Midazolam has not been found to be genotoxic and did not affect fertility in rats.

Nayzilam Reviews: What are patients saying about Nayzilam?
4Patient Review
6/15/2021 This medication has been a lifesaver. I have seizure clusters, and before this, I would often wake up in the ER. Now, my husband is able to give me the nasal spray and stop the clusters at home. I usually sleep for a few hours but am pretty clear headed when I wake compared to other emergency meds which either didn’t work or had me sleeping all day and drowsy/confused for days after.
1Patient Review
8/7/2020 I found this treatment to be incredibly painful. It felt like someone was shoving a red hot needle down my throat, and I had trouble eating for days afterwards.
