In some parts of the country intravenous sedation providers have been facing a shortage of 5mg/5ml midazolam. This is the recommended strength of midazolam to help avoid over sedation.
To overcome this shortage, sedationists may purchase the stronger formulation of 10mg/5ml and dilute it with 5ml saline in a 10ml syringe.
This will give a 10mg/10ml solution ie the same strength as 5mg/5ml.
