19 videos • 349 views • by Epilepsy Alliance America Rescue medications can be an essential part of a Seizure Action Plan and are given to the person having the seizure. Rescue Medications are NOT used as a daily seizure medicine or in place of daily seizure medicines. Rescue Medications are approved as an acute treatment, which means that the medicine is given at the time of the seizure or during periods of frequent seizures. They are used to treat cluster seizures or seizures that are distinct from the person’s usual seizure patterns. There are many types of rescue medications your doctor can prescribe. The videos - in English and Spanish - demonstrate how to administer the most common types usually prescribed. If you have any questions, please make sure to reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
