Midolam is unsafe to use during pregnancy as there is definite evidence of risk to the developing baby. However, the doctor may rarely prescribe it in some life-threatening situations if the benefits are more than the potential risks. Please consult your doctor.

Midolam is probably safe to use during breastfeeding. Limited human data suggests that the drug does not represent any significant risk to the baby. Midolam should be used for short periods and sleepiness of the baby should be watched. The withdrawal of Midolam should be gradual.

Medicine Overview of Midolam 15mg/3ml Injection

Introduction
Midolam is a prescription medicine used as a sedative or for conscious sedation before diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor as it has a high potential of habit-forming. If you have missed a dose,...

How to use Midolam
Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Insert the bottle tip into one nostril and close the other nostril. Direct the spray towards the sides of your nostril, away from the cartilage dividing the two sides of your nose. As you spray, breath gently and keep the head upright. Repeat the same process for the other nostrils.
How Midolam works
Midolam 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 which suppresses the abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells in the brain. This helps the patient to recover from a seizure faster.
What if you forget to take Midolam?
If you miss a dose of Midolam, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

Contraindication
Severe resp failure or acute resp depression, acute narrow-angle glaucoma, myasthenia gravis, sleep apnoea syndrome; severe hepatic impairment (oral). Concomitant use w/ potent CYP3A4 inhibitors.
Mode of Action
Midazolam is a short-acting benzodiazepine. It exerts sedative and hypnotic, muscle relaxant, anxiolytic and anticonvulsant actions. While the probable anxiolytic action might be as a result of the drug's ability to increase glycine inhibitory neurotransmitter level, the hypnotic/anaesthetic action may be due to the occupation of the benzodiazepine and GABA receptors leading to membrane hyperpolarisation and neuronal inhibition, and further interfering with the re-uptake of GABA at the synapses.
Precaution
Patients w/ heart failure, impaired gag reflex, resp disease, history of alcohol or drug abuse. Patient at risk of falls. Hepatic and renal impairment. Childn, elderly and debilitated patient. Pregnancy and lactation. Avoid abrupt withdrawal after prolonged use. Avoid rapid inj in neonates. Patient Counselling May impair ability to drive or operate machinery. Monitoring Parameters Monitor resp and CV status, BP. Lactation: Distributed in breast milk, use caution
