Midacip Nasal is a benzodiazepine (BZD). It is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream through the inner lining of the nose. Once absorbed, it works by increasing the action of GABA, a chemical messenger that suppresses the abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells in the brain. This helps the patient to recover from a seizure faster.
The pharmacokinetic variables of midazolam reveal that it is cleared significantly more rapidly than diazepam and lorazepam. The rapid redistribution of midazolam and high rate of liver clearance account for its relatively short hypnotic and hemodynamic effects.
