Versed, whose generic name is midazolam, is a sedative that is used to sedate a person before a procedure. Procedures include colonoscopy, bronchoscopy or dental procedures. It is used in conjunction with anesthetic agents to enhance the effects providing for a better experience for the patients. In addition, it is short acting allowing for a quicker recovery.

Versed (midazolam) is a prescription sedative that is often administered intravenously prior to general anesthesia. Its calming properties relax the body and impair short-term memory, allowing the patient to go under anesthesia comfortably.
