I've just received a prescription for Diazepam 10mg Rectal Gel to manage my loved one's acute repetitive seizures. I'm a bit nervous about administering it rectally and would love to hear from others who have experience with it. How does it work? How quickly does it stop the seizures? And what are the side effects? Any tips or advice would be super helpful.

Remember, this medication can rarely increase the risk of suicidal thoughts, especially in people with a history of suicidal tendencies. If you notice any changes in mood or behavior, contact a healthcare provider immediately.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the potential side effects. Dont get me wrong, I'm happy the medication is there to help, but it's a lot to take in.

Definitely, the quick response time is why this medication is so useful. It can stop seizures within minutes, which is crucial during an episode.

I wish someone had told me how important it is to keep the gel at room temperature. If it's too cold, it can be uncomfortable to use.
