[La...] Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 "Remimazolam: First Approval" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32274703 Abstract Remimazolam (Anerem® in Japan; ByFavo™ in the USA; Aptimyda™ in the EU) is an ultra-short-acting intravenous (IV) benzodiazepine sedative/anesthetic being developed by PAION AG in conjunction with a number of commercial partners for use in anesthesia and procedural sedation. Remimazolam was approved on 23 January 2020 in Japan for use in general anesthesia in adult patients. Remimazolam is also undergoing regulatory assessment in South Korea for this indication and for use in procedural sedation in the USA, the EU and China. This article summarises the major milestones in the development of remimazolam for this first approval for the induction and maintenance of general anaesthesia, and its potential upcoming approvals in general anaesthesia and procedural sedation.

[Ma...] Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 ultra short acting. GREAT! Means tapering it is hardly impossible. You always pay the price, right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[La...] Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 The abstract is referring only to its use for anesthesia and sedation. There's no reference to its use for any other purpose, so tapering wouldn't come into the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Te...] Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 What's wrong with Propofol??? I had no problems with it and no withdrawal (which I'd feel because I still have anxiety). This drug I would never trust no matter what any doctors told me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[La...] Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 Hi Terry, I don't think they're looking for other options because Propofol is bad. That's not really how it works. They're always looking for more options. This benzo is obviously different in some way(s) from the other benzos that are currently available.
