i.v. sedation and klonipin
I'm having my wisdom teeth out next week. The doctor said he is going to use i.v. sedation. I filled out appropriate paperwork letting them know I have recently taken klonipin which is a Benzodiazepine. I have read that most oral surgeons use Benzodiazepines for I.V. sedation.The doctor didn't mention anything about possible complications with the i.v. sedation, but do you think there could be problems ?I am going to mention it before surgery but was wondering if you have every heard of problems with the combo of oral and I.V. Benzodiazepines?
ok thanks

Sorry. I don't do IV sedations so I can't answer for sure. There shouldn't be a problem because benzodiazepines are very safe drugs to use. In addition, with IV sedation, the effects of the medication occur very rapidly so your doctor will be able to control the dosage to get the right effect so that you can "sleep" right on through your extraction. I would definitely bring it to his attention of what medications you are taking but I'm sure he will check before administering any drugs.
