Good morning. Is Septanazal spray contraindicated for epilepsy? I read in the leaflet that it can cause seizures and I don't know if I can use it safely?

Septanazal is not clearly contraindicated for epilepsy, but caution should be exercised in people with this disease. It contains xylometazoline, which is a sympathomimetic substance. Medicines in this group may affect the nervous system in rare cases.
Although the risk of seizures is low, it is recommended that patients with epilepsy consult their doctor before taking the drug. The specialist will assess the individual risks and benefits, taking into account the patient's medical history. If you decide to use them, carefully monitor any side effects and contact your doctor immediately if in doubt.
If you have any further doubts or problems, it is always advisable to consult your doctor for individual advice. If you are unable to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:
