Peripheral infusion of Diazemuls.
Diazemuls is a very powerful anxiolytic agent with sedating and anti-epileptogenic properties. Unfortunately, until now it has not been possible to give Diazemuls accurately and safely as an infusion. A new delivery system ensures that, as an infusion, this drug is potentially very effective in treating patients with terminal agitation, status epilepticus, drug and alcohol withdrawal.
