Midazolam is a benzodiazepine drug used in the treatment of anxiety, insomnia, seizures, and sedation. It is a central nervous system (CNS) depressant, meaning it slows down the activity of the brain and nervous system. It is commonly used in medical settings for procedural sedation and as a premedication before surgery. Midazolam is also used to treat status epilepticus, a life-threatening condition characterized by prolonged seizures. Midazolam is available in both oral and injectable forms, and is often used in combination with other drugs to achieve the desired effect. It is generally considered to be safe and effective when used as directed. However, it can cause side effects such as drowsiness, confusion, and respiratory depression. Some companies in the Midazolam market include Pfizer, Mylan, Sandoz, and Teva Pharmaceuticals. Show Less Read more
