Effectiveness
How Romazicon Affects PatientsFlumazenil is a drug that helps reduce the effects of benzodiazepines on the central nervous system, but does not work for drugs that affect GABA-ergic neurons in other ways (such as alcohol, barbiturates, or anaesthetics), or with opioids.
How Romazicon works in the bodyFlumazenil is a drug used to reverse the effects of benzodiazepines. It works by blocking the benzodiazepine binding site on the GABA/benzodiazepine receptor complex, preventing the benzodiazepine from interacting with the receptor. Flumazenil itself has little or no effect on humans, but it is able to counteract the effects of benzodiazepines.
