Midazolam is usually given as a single dose just before your surgery or procedure.
Midazolam can slow or stop your breathing, especially if you have recently used an opioid medication. Midazolam should be used only in a hospital, dentist office, or other clinic setting where any serious side effects can be quickly treated.
After you take midazolam, you will be watched closely to make sure the medicine is working and does not cause harmful side effects.
Your breathing, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and other vital signs will be watched closely while you are in surgery.
