To wrap it all up, there generally is not a need to convert between units and milligrams of insulin, but we have provided a tool if you wish to use it. Cimetidine, ranitidine and omeprazole have been shown to reduce the clearance of midazolam and other benzodiazepines and may potentiate their actions.

The co-administration of midazolam with other sedative/hypnotic medicinal products and CNS depressants, including alcohol, is likely to result in enhanced sedation and respiratory depression.

NPH (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn) insulin is also known as isophane insulin and is intermediate-acting. It is regular human insulin with added zinc and protamine, which causes a delay in absorption and prolongs the duration of action.

Midazolam is excreted in low quantities (0.6%) in human milk. As a result it may not be necessary to stop breast feeding following a single dose of midazolam. The mean half-life is greater in obese than in non-obese patients (5.9 versus 2.3 hours). This is due to an increase of approximately 50% in the volume of distribution corrected for total body weight. The clearance is not significantly different in obese and non-obese patients. Although they both provide 'Vitamin A', they have different biological activities (i.e., potencies) regarding how much 'Vitamin A' they actually provide. Therefore, they have been standardized with International Units as follows:

The dosage may not require modification for elderly patients; however, geriatric patients may be more sensitive to sympathomimetic agents, therefore particular caution should be taken in this age group. Midazolam should be used with caution in patients with chronic respiratory insufficiency because midazolam may further depress respiration. Nevertheless, if you are so inclined to convert between units of insulin and milligrams, you can use this handy conversion tool: Insulin: Units To Milligrams (mg) Tool In the management of overdose with any medicinal product, it should be borne in mind that multiple agents may have been taken.The maximum cumulative dose after repeated direct intravenous injections is 5mg.
