What is the procedure for dormicum overdose ?

In case of overdose of benzodiazepines, talk to your doctor immediately. Your doctor will assess your condition and then implement appropriate monitoring, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Symptomatic treatment of cardiovascular and/or nervous system disorders may be necessary. After an overdose within 1-2 hours after oral administration of the drug, activated charcoal should be used to reduce the absorption of the drug. If the patient is drowsy, but it is decided to give activated carbon, respiratory protection should be provided. In the case of mixed poisoning, gastric lavage may be considered, but this is not a routine procedure. In case of nervous system disorders, the doctor will consider giving drugs that act opposite to benzodiazepines, such as flumazenil. However, it should be remembered that the patient absolutely requires monitoring of the clinical condition. Midazolam (the active ingredient in Dormicum), like other benzodiazepines, often cause drowsiness, disorders of speech, nystagmus. An overdose of Dormicum is rarely life-threatening if not taken together with other medicines, but it can lead to the abolition of reflexes (i.e. the abolition of the body's automatic reactions to stimuli), apnea, decreased muscle tension, hypotension, respiratory and/or circulatory system disorders and, in rare cases, to coma. Coma, if it occurs, usually lasts for several hours, but can be severe and recurrent, especially in the elderly. Respiratory disorders are stronger after the use of benzodiazepines by people with respiratory diseases. Benzodiazepines intensify the effect of other substances affecting the nervous system, including alcohol. Caffeine helps to endure excessive drowsiness caused by an overdose of the drug.
