[Diclofenac does not change the characteristics of anesthetic induction with midazolam].
To examine the possible interaction between diclofenac and midazolam, 20 patients undergoing orthopedic or traumatologic surgery were studied. All were anesthetized with 0.3 mg/kg intravenous midazolam after having been premedicated randomly with either placebo (control group, n = 10) or with 1 mg/kg intravenous diclofenac (n = 10). Anesthetic characteristics (rate of induction and depth) were similar in both groups, indicating that no clinical interaction between the two drugs can be identified.
