Midazolam, also known by the trade names Versed®, Hypnovel® and Dormicum®, is a benzodiazepine drug with an imidazole structure. Used commonly as an anxiolytic, amnesiac and sedative, this medication provides an effect similar to diazepam, but with a quicker onset and shorter duration.

This medication is frequently used by anesthesiologists for sedating patients prior to surgery, as well as for other invasive medical procedures such as colonoscopy.
