Dormicum Side Effects

Tablet: Drowsiness during the day, numbed emotions, reduced alertness, confusion, fatigue, headache, dizziness, muscle weakness, ataxia or double vision. These phenomena occur predominantly at the start of therapy and usually disappear with repeated administration.
Other side effects ie, gastrointestinal disturbances, changes in libido or skin reactions have been reported occasionally.
When used as premedication, Dormicum may contribute to postoperative sedation.
Amnesia: Anterograde amnesia may occur using therapeutic doses, the risk increasing at higher dosages. Amnestic effects may be associated with inappropriate behaviour (see Precautions).
Depression: Preexisting depression may be unmasked during benzodiazepine use.
Psychiatric and Paradoxical Reactions: See Precautions.
Dependence: Use (even at therapeutic doses) may lead to the development of physical dependence. Discontinuation of the therapy may result in withdrawal or rebound phenomena (see Precautions). Psychological dependence may occur. Abuse has been reported in poly-drug abusers.
