Midazolam (Versed, Hypnovel), a potent injectable benzo, is one of the most useful drugs for emergency tranquilisation. It acts particularly rapidly.
In most cases of acute mania or psychosis, physicians should avoid using injectable drugs unless it's absolutely necessary. Patients may be frightened, distressed and angered by forced injections.
