Paraldehyde (glutaraldehyde) is a drug used to treat epilepsy and status epilepticus. It produces sedative and anticonvulsant effects by affecting the central nervous system. Glutaraldehyde is generally used for acute seizure control, especially when oral medications are not available. Glutaraldehyde is usually given intravenously or as an enema by a health care provider.
In Hong Kong, glutaraldehyde is a controlled drug and must be prescribed by a professional doctor before it can be purchased. When using glutaraldehyde, you should follow your doctor's advice and strictly control the dosage and frequency of use to reduce the risk of adverse reactions. Possible side effects include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and respiratory depression. If you have any discomfort or concerns, you should consult your doctor immediately.
Overall, glutaraldehyde is an effective drug for acute seizure control. Physician's advice should be followed carefully during use to ensure safe and effective management of epilepsy symptoms.
Instructions for use: PARALDEHYDE is an oral liquid medicine and should be used under the guidance of a physician. It is generally recommended to take it on an empty stomach and avoid taking it with food to improve absorption. Shake the medicine well before taking it and use a measuring spoon or cup to ensure an accurate dose. You should avoid drinking alcohol while taking it to avoid increasing the sedative effect of the drug.
Dosage Guidelines: The starting dose of PARALDEHYDE varies based on the patient's age and condition. For adults, the recommended starting dose is 5 ml to 10 ml each time, repeated every 4 to 6 hours as needed. For children, the dose should be adjusted according to the physician's recommendation and is usually lower than that for adults.
When using PARALDEHYDE, patients should closely follow their physician's dosage guidelines and should not increase the dosage or change the medication pattern on their own. If you have any discomfort or questions, you should seek help from a medical professional immediately.
Paraldehyde is a sedative used primarily to treat anxiety and sleep problems. But it has many side effects, including dizziness, vomiting, liver damage and difficulty breathing. Some serious side effects include irregular heartbeat, confusion and convulsions. Be careful when using Paraldehyde. It is best to use it under the supervision of a doctor. Do not adjust the dosage or stop using it by yourself. If you experience any unusual reactions, you should consult your doctor immediately.
