Used as a reversal agent for benzodiazepine sedation, flumazenil is administered to restore consciousness in cases of overdose or to counteract the effects of benzodiazepines after medical procedures. It works by competitively inhibiting benzodiazepine action at central nervous system receptors. Commonly used in emergency settings and anesthesia recovery, it helps manage respiratory depression and excessive sedation. Due to risk of seizures in dependent patients, its use requires careful clinical judgment.
