What's The Best Method And Most Common Rescue Med For Seizures?
I have had to different kinds one that's nasal spray and another that used a dropper.
The main reason I ask is the doctor prescribed one but the pharmacist says the other may be better, so is the Dr just prescribing one over the other to fill his pocket?
It could be that the two meds could work better than one medication alone. I have had that happen in the hopspital.
