Hi Dec
Midazolam (Versed, Hypnovel) is a benzodiazepine which is usually given by injection (into a vein or, less commonly, a muscle). Benzos produce very powerful sedation and amnesia when injected into a vein. Intravenous diazepam produces a similar effect to midazolam but tends to irritate the vein. As a single dose, 5mg of intravenous midazolam is approximately equivalent to 15mg intravenous diazepam.
