Romazicon is a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist. This medication is available in generic form. Common side effects include pain or irritation where the medicine was injected, agitation or tremors (shaking), warmth, redness, or tingly feeling under your skin, dizziness, sweating or shivering, headache, blurred vision, or ringing in your ears.

Romazicon is administered intravenously (IV) only. Dose is dependent upon the condition being treated, the age of the patient, and the patient's response to the medication. This medication is only used by a physician for the specific purpose of reversing the sedating effects of benzodiazepines. It is not a drug that patients administer to themselves or take on their own. Romazicon may interact with seizure medication, eszopiclone, antidepressants, or diazepam or similar medicines.
