Abstract
Intramuscular midazolam is better absorbed than when given orally. Addition of hyaluronidase to the injection significantly increases uptake but causes a high incidence of pain at the injection site. Concurrent administration of oral midazolam and metoclopramide does not increase its uptake.Keywords
