Parents or carers giving Buccolam should take the syringe out of the package, pull off the red cap and give the medicine in the side of the child’s mouth when the child is having an epileptic seizure. To make sure that the medicine is given correctly and safely, EMA is advising parents and carers to carefully check the syringe before giving Buccolam and to remove the translucent tip-cap if it is still on the syringe after the red cap has been pulled off.
