Valtoco is a nasal spray that comes in a ready-to-use bottle. Each bottle is for one use only. Use only the number of sprays your doctor has prescribed.
Read and carefully follow any Instructions for Use provided with your medicine. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you do not understand these instructions.
Be sure a responsible family member or caregiver knows where you keep Valtoco and how to give it to you.
After giving a dose of Valtoco nasal spray to another person:
note the time the dose was given;
keep the person lying on his or her side;
stay with the person and watch for changes in his or her seizures.
Seek emergency medical help if the person's seizure seems different or last longer than other seizures, or if the person has slow breathing, blue colored lips, or is hard to wake up.
If needed, a second dose of Valtoco may be given at least 4 hours after the first dose. Do not give a second dose if the person has extreme drowsiness or very slow breathing.
Diazepam doses are based on weight. Your dose needs may change if you gain or lose weight.
Do not use more than 2 doses to treat a single seizure cluster episode.
Do not use Valtoco for more than 1 seizure cluster every 5 days. Do not use for more than 5 seizure clusters in 1 month.
If you stop using Valtoco suddenly after long-term use, you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Follow your doctor's instructions about tapering your dose.
