Do not stop taking it suddenly without talking to your doctor as it may cause nausea and anxiety. This medicine is generally well tolerated with minimal or no side effects but it may cause slight rectal discomfort.

Introduction

In Epilepsy/Seizures Juniz Rds 2.5mg Suppository slows down electrical signals in the brain which cause seizures (fits). It can also help reduce symptoms such as confusion, uncontrollable jerking movements, loss of awareness, and fear or anxiety. The medicine can allow you to do some activities that you would otherwise be forbidden or scared to do (such as swimming and driving). It can take a few weeks for this medicine to work (because the dose has to be increased slowly) and during this time you may still have seizures. It is inserted into the rectum by a doctor or nurse. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.

Benefits

Juniz Rds 2.5mg Suppository is a benzodiazepine (BZD). It is absorbed rapidly into the bloodstream from the rich blood supply of the rectal area. Once absorbed, it quickly increases the action of GABA, a chemical messenger. This action suppresses the abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells in the brain, thereby controlling seizures.

How to use

Remove the wrapper from the suppository before inserting it. Keep lying down for about 15 minutes after insertion so that the suppository does not come out before it melts.
