They are also used to treat frequent passage of urine and increased thirst in people with certain brain injuries, and those who have undergone surgery in the pituitary region of the brain. Stimate nasal spray and nose drops are also prescribed to help stop some types of bedwetting. Stimate nasal spray is used to stop bleeding in certain types of hemophilia (failure of the blood to clot). Most important fact about StimateWhen taking Stimate, elderly and young people in particular should limit their fluid intake to no more than what satisfies thirst. Although extremely rare, there is a possibility of water intoxication, in which reduced sodium levels in the blood can lead to seizures. How should you take Stimate?Use Stimate exactly as prescribed. The spray and drops are for nasal use only; never swallow the medication or allow the liquid to run into your mouth. Your doctor may increase or decrease your dosage, depending on how you respond to Stimate. Your response will be judged by how long you are able to sleep without having to get up to urinate and how much urine your kidneys produce. The Stimate nasal spray pump bottle accurately delivers 50 doses of the medication. After the 50th dose, the amount of medication that comes out with each spray will no longer be a full dose. When this happens, throw the bottle away even if it is not completely empty. Stimate nasal spray delivers 25 doses; the same instructions apply. The Stimate nasal spray pump must be primed before you use it for the first time: Press down 4 times. Since the Stimate spray bottle delivers only a standard-sized dose, those who need more or less medication should use the nose drops instead of the spray. If nasal congestion, scars, or swelling inside the nose make it difficult to absorb Stimate, your doctor may temporarily stop the drug or give you tablets or an injectable form. If you are switched to tablets, you should start taking them 12 hours after you last used the nasal spray or nose drops. --If you miss a dose... Take the forgotten dose as soon as you remember. If you take 1 dose a day and don"t remember until the next day, skip the dose. If you take Stimate more than once a day and it is almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Never try to "catch up" by doubling the dose. --Storage instructions... The drops should be stored in the refrigerator. If you are traveling, they will stay fresh at room temperature for up to 3 weeks. The tablets and nasal spray can be kept at room temperature. Protect the tablets from heat and light. What side effects may occur?Too high a dosage of Stimate nasal spray or drops may produce headache, nausea, mild abdominal cramps, stuffy nose, irritation of the nose, or flushing. These symptoms will probably disappear when the dosage is reduced. Some people have complained of nosebleed, sore throat, cough, or a cold or other upper respiratory infections after taking Stimate nasal spray or drops.
Why should Stimate not be prescribed?Do not use Stimate if you are sensitive to or have ever had an allergic reaction to any of its ingredients.
