📚 Special Notes

  • Mandatory respiratory monitoring
  • Reduce dose in elderly and hepatic insufficiency
  • Status epilepticus: repeat after 5 min if needed; if second dose fails → lorazepam or phenobarbitone
  • Rectal route: adults 0.3-0.5 mg/kg (max 20 mg); children 0.5 mg/kg (max 10 mg) — specific dosing, not simply double the IV dose
