midazolam<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BUCCOLAM contains a medicine called midazolam. Midazolam belongs to a group of medicines called benzodiazepines. BUCCOLAM is used to stop a sudden, prolonged seizure in infants, toddlers, children, and adolescents (from 3 months to under 18 years of age).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In infants aged 3 months to less than 6 months, this medicine should only be used in a hospital setting where monitoring is possible and resuscitation equipment is available.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This medicine should only be used by parents\/carers of patients who have been diagnosed with epilepsy.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before giving BUCCOLAM to your child if he\/she has:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This medicine may make you forget what happened after you received it. Patients should be closely monitored after receiving the drug.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This medicine should be avoided in patients who abuse\/have abused alcohol or drugs.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The risk of life-threatening incidents is greater for patients with breathing difficulties or heart problems, especially when high doses of BUCCOLAM are given.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Children under 3 months<\/strong>: BUCCOLAM should not be given to children under 3 months as there is not enough information for this age group. If you are not sure if any of the above applies to your patient, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before giving BUCCOLAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor or pharmacist if your child is taking, has recently taken, or might take any other medicines. If you are at all unsure whether a medicine your child is taking affects the effect of BUCCOLAM, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. This is extremely important because the concomitant use of more than one medicine may enhance or weaken the effect of these medicines. The effects of BUCCOLAM may be enhanced by medicines such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The effects of BUCCOLAM may be attenuated by drugs such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n BUCCOLAM may potentiate the effect of certain muscle relaxants, e.g. baclofen (which causes increased drowsiness). This medicine can also prevent other medicines from working properly, e.g. levodopa (used to treat Parkinson’s disease ). Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about medicines that your child should avoid when taking BUCCOLAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The patient must not drink alcohol while taking BUCCOLAM. Alcohol may potentiate the sedative effects of this medicine and make the patient very sleepy. The patient must not drink grapefruit juice while taking BUCCOLAM. Grapefruit juice can enhance the calming effect of this medicine and make the patient very sleepy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Consult a physician before giving this medicine if the patient you are giving it to is pregnant or breastfeeding, thinks she may be pregnant or is planning to have a baby. High doses of BUCCOLAM given during the last three months of pregnancy can cause abnormal heart rhythms in the fetus. Children born when this medicine has been given during childbirth may have the poor suction capacity, difficulty breathing, and impaired muscle tension at birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor if the patient is breast-feeding. Even if small amounts of BUCCOLAM are transferred to breast milk, it does not have to be an obstacle to breastfeeding. The doctor decides if the patient should stop breast-feeding after receiving this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BUCCOLAM can make the patient very sleepy, forgetful, or affect the ability to concentrate and coordinate. This can affect his \/ her ability to perform advanced tasks such as driving, cycling, or using machines. After receiving this medicine, the patient should not drive, cycle, or use machines until he\/she has fully recovered. Discuss this with your doctor if you need further advice. Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure. Dose<\/strong> Your doctor will prescribe the most appropriate dose of BUCCOLAM, generally depending on the age of your child. Each dose has a specific color indicated on the carton, case and syringe of the medicine.
