Which of the following medications would you give to a patient with benzodiazepine overdose?
  1. Diazepam (Valium)
  2. Traizolam (Halicion)
  3. Fluvoxamine (Luvox)
  4. Flumazenil (Romazicon)
Explanation
Answer: D - Flumazenil (Romazicon) is given to a patient with benzodiazepine overdose because it is an antagonist. Diazepam and traizolam are also benzodiazepines and would increase the overdose. Fluvoxamine is an SSRI anti-depressant and would not be an effective treatment for this patient.
