Midazolam is used to produce sleepiness or drowsiness and to relieve anxiety before surgery or certain procedures. Midazolam is also given to produce amnesia (loss of memory) so that the patient will not remember any discomfort or undesirable effects that may occur after a surgery or procedure.
The mechanism of action of midazolam though not clearly understood is probably similar to other benzodiazepines i.e. through interference with GABA reuptake. It has a relatively high affinity for benzodiazepine receptors.
