General

Midazolam is a potent sedative agent which requires slow administration and individualization of dosage according to clinical need, physical status, age and concomitant medication. The intravenous injection must be given slowly (approximately 2.5 mg in 10 seconds for induction of anesthesia, and 1 mg in 30 seconds for premedication). The onset of effect takes place after approximately 2 minutes.

Premedication before an operation (Intramuscular administration):
In patients suffering from pain before an intervention, it can be administered alone or in combination with anticholinergics and possible analgesics.

Intravenous basal sedation:
For basal sedation in diagnostic or surgical interventions carried out under local anesthesia.

Maintenance Dose

For maintenance of the desired level of unconsciousness, further small doses should be injected IV. The dose and the intervals between doses vary according to the individual patient’s reactions.

These additional doses should be given only after a thorough clinical evaluation clearly indicates the need for additional sedation. When midazolam is given with potent analgesics the latter should be administered first so that the sedative effects of midazolam can be safely titrated on top of any sedation caused by the analgesics.
