About Mezolam Injection

Mezolam Injection belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines (sedatives) used to induce sedation and relieve anxiety and muscle tension. It is used to induce sleepiness during therapeutic procedures (like endoscopy or colonoscopy) or complicated medical tests known as procedural sedation. Conscious sedation is a technique in which drugs help you relax (sedative), reduce anxiety and inhibit pain (anaesthetic) during a medical test or procedure. It is usually referred to as procedural sedation and analgesia.

Mezolam Injection contains Midazolam which works by increasing GABA activity (a chemical messenger in the brain that acts as a natural nerve-calming agent) involved in inducing drowsiness. Thereby, Mezolam Injection relaxes muscles, reduces anxiety and causes drowsiness.

Mezolam Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Sometimes, it may cause side effects such as redness, pain or swelling at the injection site, headache, drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, dry mouth, tiredness or muscle spasms. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Midazolam or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or planning pregnancy, inform your doctor before taking Mezolam Injection. It may be excreted in breast milk. Therefore, avoid breastfeeding for 24 hours after taking Mezolam Injection. Mezolam Injection should be used with caution in elderly patients as there is an increased risk of breaking bones and falling. Special care should be taken while treating children with Mezolam Injection. Avoid consumption of alcohol while on treatment with Mezolam Injection as it may increase the sedative effect. Mezolam Injection may cause drowsiness or affect concentration and coordination. It is an offence to drive if Mezolam Injection affects you. Therefore, avoid driving if you feel drowsy after taking Mezolam Injection.
