DORMICUM (MIDAZOLAM) 7.5MG 10 PILLS IN STRIP FROM ROCHE Code: 011 Description: DORMICUM is a sleep – inducing agent characterized by rapid onset of action, short sojourn in the body, constant efficacy and ease of dosage. Controlled clinical trials and sleep laboratory tests have shown that DORMICUM decreases sleep onset and prolongs duration of sleep without any quantitative impairment of REM sleep. The wake phases are reduced, and the quality of sleep is improved. In general, the time elapsing between taking DORMICUM and falling asleep is less than twenty minutes, and the duration of sleep generally returns to what is normal for the patient’s age. On waking the patients feel fresh and rested. After suitable dosage and duration of sleep no impairment of either performance or reaction has been observed. Midazolam, the active ingredient of DORMICUM, also possesses anticonvulsive, anxiolytic and muscle-relaxant properties. In some cases Midazolam was given over a period of up to hundred and fifty days without any signs of accumulation. Toxicological investigations have demonstrated the wide therapeutic margin of this drug. There are no reports of embryotoxic, teratogenic or mutagenic effects.  Price: US$ 9.00/Strip Quantity:

DOSAGE OF DORMICUM

The usual adult dose is 1-2 tablets (7.5 -15 mg). Because of the short sojourn of Midazolam in the body, DORMICUM can be taken any time of day, provided the patient is subsequently assured of at least four hours undisturbed sleep. Then there is hardly any need to fear residual effects. Owing to the rapid onset of action, DORMICUM should be taken immediately before retiring. The tablet should be swallowed whole with fluid. 

SPECIAL DOSAGE INSTRUCTIONS

In elderly and debilitated patients, the recommended dose is 7.5 mg. This dosage applies also to patients with impaired liver and/or kidney function. In premedication, 2 tablets of DORMICUM should be given orally thirty to sixty minutes before the operation, unless the parenteral route is preferred. 


SIDE EFFECTS OF DORMICUM

DORMICUM is well tolerated and has a broad therapeutic margin. No changes in the blood picture or in hepatic or renal function have been observed. The unusual side effects are due to the sedative effect of the drug, and are dose-dependent. They generally vanish on reduction of the dose. When therapy is continued for long period, habituation may build up in predisposed patients, as with all sleep-inducing agents, sedatives and tranquilizers. In rare cases, patients who are woken by unusual stimuli during the first two or three hours of sleep after taking the tablet may notice a loss of memory (amnesic episodes) with regard to day-to-day activities during these wake phases.
