Introduction to Insed Plus Atomiser 5mg Spray
Insed plus atomiser 5mg Spray is an anaesthetic drug in the benzodiazepine category containing the active ingredient Midazolam.

This spray is contraindicated for patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to the spray, and it is not advised to administer the drug to them. Also, this drug is contraindicated in patients with acute narrow-angle glaucoma (Narrow-angle glaucoma is a specific type of glaucoma that can cause a sudden increase in eye pressure).
