Medical Description
Medistat 5mg nasal spray is a prescription medication belonging to a class of medicines called benzodiazepines. The active ingredient in Medistat 5mg nasal spray is Midazolam, in the strength of 5mg.
Medistat 5mg nasal spray is used to induce sleepiness prior to therapeutic procedures like colonoscopy and endoscopy. That is why it is known as procedural sedation or analgesia. It reduces anxiety and pain during medical procedures. Medistat 5mg nasal spray also treats sudden epileptic attacks or seizures. Epilepsy is a brain disorder in which the affected person experiences sudden and uncontrolled variations in the electrical activity of brain cells that results in uncontrolled movements for a set time.
The mode of action of Medistat 5mg nasal spray is by increasing the levels of a chemical messenger in the brain called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which results in drowsiness. It also helps relax muscles and feelings of anxiety and prevents fits in epilepsy by calming brain cells.

This ensures that a certain level of the medication is maintained in the body system. Sudden stoppage of this medicine can cause withdrawal symptoms.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Medistat 5mg nasal spray belongs to a class of medicines called benzodiazepines and is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. The spray ensures that the medicine is absorbed rapidly through the inner lining of the nose. Once the medication reaches the bloodstream, it influences gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a chemical messenger in the brain.
This messenger reduces the brain cells' excessive and abnormal activity that results in symptoms such as anxiety. This helps in inducing sleep, causes sedation, calms nerves, and reduces anxiety. It also prevents seizures and fits by stabilising the nerve cell activity of the brain.
