About DIASTAT® AcuDial™ (diazepam rectal gel)
DIASTAT AcuDial is the first and only FDA-approved, acute at-home medication for patients two years and older on stable antiepileptic medications (AEDs) who experience bouts of increased seizure activity, sometimes called serial or cluster seizures or
breakthrough seizures.
DIASTAT AcuDial can help treat your breakthrough seizure safely and effectively and may help avoid a trip to the emergency room.
With DIASTAT AcuDial you can stop a seizure soon after it starts. Breakthrough seizures may still happen even if your loved one is taking antiepileptic medications every day.
DIASTAT AcuDial is there when you need it: at home, at school, at a relative's, in the office, even on vacations.
Ask your doctor if DIASTAT AcuDial should complete your
Seizure Preparedness Plan.
