title: The use of flumazenil (Anexate, Ro 15-1788) in the management of drug overdose.
abstract: This is a report of a large selfadministered overdose of temazepam and meprobamate. The administration of flumazenil (Ro 15-1788) led to the partial antagonism of the depressant action of the drugs which was sufficient to avoid the need for invasive respiratory and cardiovascular support.
