Prepare a Plan for an Adult

93% of adult patients would prefer a rectally administered drug outside of the hospital rather than having to visit the emergency room1.

This Seizure Preparedness Plan has been especially designed for adults with epilepsy and seizure disorders. It allows caregivers, friends, and loved ones to respond quickly to treat a breakthrough seizure, minimize disruption to your patient's routine, and potentially eliminate emergency room visits.

To help your patients live life with less fear and uncertainty, work with them to create a Personalized Seizure Preparedness Plan and complete their plan with DIASTAT® AcuDial™ (diazepam rectal gel) when appropriate.
