The use of temazepam Expidet (FDDF) as a premedicant in children.
One hundred and forty-nine children were given a novel oral presentation (FDDF) of temazepam as pre-operative medication. The high degree of acceptability by the child, the short duration of onset and resulting percentage production of satisfactory demeanour in the anaesthetic room, suggest that temazepam would make a very useful addition to the paediatric premedicant armamentarium.
