Oral diazepam for acute seizure

Am I wrong thinking the oral tab isn't going to work fast enough to treat an acute seizure? I have a few patients on it scheduled with their other meds, but got one today for someone who just had a one off seizure from er and no other seizure stuff to be used prn...I appreciate any insight.
