HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
At present research is being conducted into the use of diazepam (valium) as a nasal spray for seizures.
It has been used for a long time to as an oral agent or iv in continuous seizures for the acute event.
A recent study showed that it is effective when given as a nasal spray.
You may want to speak to the neurologist involved to find out whether this option is available.
I hope this helps
