Overdose Information
Overdose Symptoms:
- Extreme drowsiness or sedation
- Confusion
- Muscle weakness
- Loss of coordination (ataxia)
- Slow or shallow breathing (respiratory depression)
- Hypotension (low blood pressure)
- Coma
What to Do:
Seek immediate medical attention. Call 911 or your local Poison Control Center (e.g., 1-800-222-1222 in the US). Overdose management is primarily supportive care (maintaining airway, breathing, circulation). Flumazenil, a benzodiazepine antagonist, can reverse effects but carries risks (e.g., precipitating withdrawal seizures) and is generally reserved for specific situations.
Drug Interactions
Contraindicated Interactions
- Opioids (unless alternative treatment options are inadequate and with extreme caution)
- Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors in patients with severe respiratory depression or acute narrow-angle glaucoma
Major Interactions
- Opioids (additive CNS depression, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, death)
- Other CNS depressants (e.g., alcohol, barbiturates, tricyclic antidepressants, antipsychotics, antihistamines, general anesthetics) - increased risk of sedation and respiratory depression
- Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole, ritonavir, clarithromycin) - increased diazepam levels
- Strong CYP2C19 inhibitors (e.g., fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, omeprazole) - increased diazepam levels
Moderate Interactions
- CYP3A4/2C19 inducers (e.g., rifampin, carbamazepine, phenytoin) - decreased diazepam levels
- Antacids (may delay absorption of oral forms, less relevant for injection)
- Digoxin (may increase digoxin levels)
Minor Interactions
- Not many specific minor interactions listed that are clinically significant for injection beyond general caution with other sedatives.
Monitoring
Baseline Monitoring
Respiratory rate and oxygen saturation
Rationale: To assess baseline respiratory function and risk of depression
Timing: Prior to administration
Blood pressure and heart rate
Rationale: To assess cardiovascular stability and risk of hypotension
Timing: Prior to administration
Level of consciousness/Sedation score (e.g., RASS, Ramsay Sedation Scale)
Rationale: To establish baseline mental status and guide titration
Timing: Prior to administration
Renal and Hepatic function tests (e.g., BUN, creatinine, LFTs)
Rationale: To assess organ function, especially if prolonged use or impairment suspected, as metabolism is hepatic and excretion is renal
Timing: Prior to initiation of therapy, if clinically indicated
Routine Monitoring
Respiratory rate and oxygen saturation
Frequency: Every 5-15 minutes initially, then as clinically indicated based on patient stability
Target: Respiratory rate >10 breaths/min, SpO2 >92%
Action Threshold: Respiratory rate <10 breaths/min or SpO2 <90% (or significant drop from baseline) - intervene immediately
Blood pressure and heart rate
Frequency: Every 5-15 minutes initially, then as clinically indicated
Target: Within patient's normal range
Action Threshold: Significant hypotension or bradycardia - intervene
Level of consciousness/Sedation score
Frequency: Every 5-15 minutes initially, then as clinically indicated
Target: Desired level of sedation (e.g., RASS -2 to 0)
Action Threshold: Excessive sedation (e.g., RASS -4 or -5) or paradoxical reaction - reduce dose or hold
Injection site for phlebitis/irritation
Frequency: Regularly during and after IV administration
Target: No redness, swelling, or pain
Action Threshold: Signs of phlebitis - discontinue infusion at site, apply warm compress
Symptom Monitoring
- Respiratory depression (slow, shallow breathing)
- Excessive sedation or somnolence
- Hypotension
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Confusion or disorientation
- Slurred speech
- Ataxia or loss of coordination
- Paradoxical reactions (e.g., agitation, anxiety, hallucinations, aggression, insomnia)
- Injection site pain, redness, or swelling
Special Patient Groups
Pregnancy
Category D. Should be avoided during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester due to potential risk of congenital malformations (e.g., cleft lip/palate). Use in late pregnancy can lead to 'floppy infant syndrome' (hypotonia, lethargy, feeding difficulties) and neonatal withdrawal symptoms.
Trimester-Specific Risks:
First Trimester:
Potential increased risk of congenital malformations (e.g., cleft lip/palate)
Second Trimester:
Less data, but generally considered safer than first or third trimester if absolutely necessary
Third Trimester:
Risk of 'floppy infant syndrome' (hypotonia, lethargy, feeding difficulties), respiratory depression, and neonatal withdrawal symptoms (irritability, hypertonia, tremors, seizures) if used close to delivery.
Lactation
Excreted into breast milk. Can cause sedation, poor feeding, and weight loss in the infant. Use with caution, monitor infant for adverse effects, or consider alternative agents with shorter half-lives or lower excretion into milk.
Infant Risk:
Moderate to high risk (L3-L4) depending on dose and duration. Potential for sedation, lethargy, poor feeding, and developmental effects in the infant.
Pediatric Use
Increased sensitivity to CNS depressant effects, especially in neonates and infants. Careful titration and close monitoring for respiratory depression and sedation are essential. Paradoxical reactions (e.g., excitement, agitation) can occur. Not recommended for routine use in neonates due to risk of gasping syndrome from benzyl alcohol preservative (if present).
Geriatric Use
Increased sensitivity to sedative and respiratory depressant effects. Start with lower doses and titrate slowly. Increased risk of falls, cognitive impairment, and paradoxical reactions. Monitor closely for over-sedation and respiratory depression.
Clinical Information
Clinical Pearls
- IV administration should be slow (e.g., 1 mL/min) into a large vein to minimize venous irritation, phlebitis, and local pain. Rapid IV injection can cause apnea or cardiac arrest.
- IM administration is generally not recommended due to erratic and incomplete absorption, but may be used if IV access is not possible (e.g., acute seizure outside hospital).
- Tolerance and physical dependence can develop with prolonged use. Abrupt discontinuation after chronic use can lead to severe withdrawal symptoms, including seizures.
- Paradoxical reactions (e.g., excitement, agitation, aggression) can occur, especially in children, elderly, and patients with psychiatric disorders.
- Diazepam is highly lipid-soluble, leading to rapid onset of action but also rapid redistribution out of the CNS, which explains its relatively short duration of acute effect despite a long elimination half-life.
- Due to its long half-life and active metabolites, accumulation can occur with repeated dosing, particularly in patients with hepatic impairment or in the elderly.
Alternative Therapies
- For Acute Anxiety: Lorazepam (IV), Midazolam (IV), Alprazolam (oral), Buspirone (oral, for chronic anxiety), SSRIs/SNRIs (for chronic anxiety).
- For Status Epilepticus: Lorazepam (IV, often preferred due to longer duration of action), Midazolam (IV, IM, intranasal, buccal), Phenytoin (IV), Fosphenytoin (IV), Levetiracetam (IV), Valproic Acid (IV).
- For Muscle Spasm: Cyclobenzaprine, Tizanidine, Baclofen, Methocarbamol (oral or IV).
- For Alcohol Withdrawal: Lorazepam (IV/oral), Oxazepam (oral), Chlordiazepoxide (oral/IM/IV).
