Valtoco is indicated for the acute treatment of seizure clusters in patients 6 years of age and older with epilepsy who are currently taking an anti-seizure medication regimen. It is not intended for daily routine use or as a replacement for regular anti-seizure therapy.
Valtoco contains diazepam, a benzodiazepine that enhances the effect of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. This action helps reduce excessive electrical activity in the brain that leads to seizures, providing rapid seizure cluster interruption.
Valtoco carries a boxed warning for risks including serious respiratory depression, sedation, and potential for abuse or dependence with prolonged use. It should only be used as prescribed and never shared with others. Patients should be counseled on proper nasal administration technique and seek emergency medical attention if severe drowsiness, slow breathing, or signs of cardiovascular distress occur.
