The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Aptar Group’s Unidose Liquid System to treat acute repetitive seizures in those with epilepsy.

Claimed to be the first and only nasal rescue treatment for seizures, Aptar’s Unidose Liquid System is a single-use, ready-to-use one-step nasal delivery device that can deliver a formulation in an emergency.

Non-healthcare professionals can administer the nasal delivery device to a patient during or after a seizure.

When the patient or caregiver presses the small plunger on the bottom of the device, the drug is released in a single spray into the nostril, where the nasal mucosa quickly absorbs it.

Recently, Aptar acquired Noble International, which developed a trainer device for use as part of a patient onboarding programme for the new device.
