Antidote for benzodiazepine?
Romazicon/Roche (Flumazenil) is a specific benzodiazepine receptor antagonist indicated for the reversal of the CNS depressant effects of the benzodiazepines. It is contraindicated where multiple agents (ie: tricyclic antidepressants) have also been used concomitantly. Given that Flumazenil is a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist, it must be borne in mind that seizures may be invoked in individuals whom are physically dependent on benzodiazepines, and hence, it should not be used in this scenario unless absolutely warranted.
