Posted on: April 23 2015How to make a rectiole with Dormicum 2.5 mg
This is prescribed for a child of 4 years
Answer
In the package leaflet of Dormicum I can read: "The active ingredient is midazolam (as midazolam hydrochloride). In "Dormicum 15 mg/3 ml" contains every 1 ml of liquid 5 mg midazolam (as midazolam hydrochloride).
so we take 1 ml of the solution in the Ampoule for 2 Rectioles and supplement with a solution of 3% Glycerin (isotonic) in water up to 2 X volume of rectiole.
as a preservative, we use sorbic acid (0.1%). The pH of the solution should be 4. The shelf life we can set at 6 months, kept in the fridge.
