	Intramuscular midazolam vs Intravenous diazepam for acute seizures Shah Ira, Deshmukh CT - Indian J Pediatr
		Midazolam in the dose of 0.1 mg/kg to 0.3 mg/kg is readily available for intramuscular dose due to its water-soluble nature.
		In the present study, intramuscular midazolam is effective for controlling seizures in all age groups that was statistically significant which again signifies that it may be effective in all children irrespective of age.
		Thus it may be concluded, that intramuscular midazolam is safe and effective in control of acute seizures irrespective of the type of convulsions and age of the child.

	Versed Online, Description, Chemistry, Ingredients - Midazolam - RxList Monographs
		Midazolam, a white to light yellow crystalline compound, is insoluble in water, but can be solubilized in aqueous solutions by formation of the hydrochloride salt in situ under acidic conditions.
		Each mL of the syrup contains midazolam hydrochloride equivalent to 2 mg midazolam compounded with sorbitol, glycerin, citric acid anhydrous, sodium citrate, sodium benzoate, sodium saccharin, edetate disodium, FDandC Red #33, artificial cough syrup flavor, artificial bitterness modifier and water; the pH is adjusted to approximately 3 with hydrochloric acid.
		Under the acidic conditions required to solubilize midazolam in the syrup, midazolam is present as an equilibrium mixture (shown below) of the closed ring form shown above and an open-ring structure formed by the acid-catalyzed ring opening of the 4,5-double bond of the diazepine ring.

	CHEST: Midazolam as intravenous sedative for electrocardioversion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The intravenous dose of midazolam for the 17 procedures ranged from 2.5 to 16 mg (average 6.6 mg).
		Unlike diazepam, parenteral formulation of midazolam excludes propylene glycol which renders it less irritant and therefore less liable to cause pain at the site of injection [6,8] and lasser chance of subsequent venous sequelae compared to diazepam.
		Although significant respiratory depression was not encountered in healthy volunteers given intravenous midazolam for conscious sedation, clinically significant respiratory depression may occur in patients with COPD, [12,13] in those receiving concomitant CNS depressant medication, and those who are older and debitated.
