title: Intramuscular midazolam. A comparison of midazolam with papaveretum and hyoscine for intramuscular premedication.
abstract: Midazolam, administered intramuscularly was compared with papaveretum and hyoscine for premedication in patients undergoing gynaecological surgery. Midazolam proved to be a satisfactory agent for premedication compared with papaveretum and hyoscine, producing a similar degree of sedation and anxiolysis, but causing significantly more anterograde amnesia.
