    Author: de Vries TW, Miedema CJ, Okken A.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 1990 Sep 01; 134(35):1708-9. PubMed ID: 2215721.
    Abstract:
    In children there is a good effect of diazepam on convulsions after intravenous or rectal administration. This is not the case in neonates. We describe a newborn to whom diazepam was given because of a convulsion and who exhibited serious side effects: coma, hypotonia and feeding difficulties. We point out the risks of using diazepam in neonates.
