have 4 white oval shape with roche 7.5 on it. Anyone know what it is? ## Hello, Wings! How are you? This is a medication from the UK called Dormicum, it contains Midazolam, which is classified by the FDA as being a benzodiazepine. This one is most commonly used to treat seizures, severe insomnia and for inducing sedation before medical procedures. It carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?

Urine screen in ER shows benzodiazepine 45 minutes after 5mg IV Midazolam given in ambulance. Can it get in urine that fast? ## In many cases, giving them by IV kind of speeds up the process, so they can be detected much faster than they would if they were taken orally. Learn more Midazolam details here. Your body and how fast it processes medications can also play a role. Why did they give it in the ambulance?
