Immediate pharmacologic therapy — SE should be treated immediately, as treatment delay is associated with increased morbidity and mortality [23-25].

●First therapy: Benzodiazepine – Lorazepam 0.1 mg/kg intravenously (IV) up to a maximum of 4 mg should be administered by slow IV push over one minute and its effect assessed over the next five to ten minutes [26]. An equally effective alternative is diazepam 0.2 mg/kg IV (maximum dose 8 mg) [26,27]. If seizures continue after five minutes, additional doses of lorazepam or diazepam can be given (table 2). The risk of respiratory depression increases if more than two doses of benzodiazepines are administered [7,9]. (See 'Benzodiazepines' below.)

Benzodiazepines — Benzodiazepines are the first-line treatment for SE because they can rapidly control seizures [13,21]. The three most commonly used benzodiazepines to treat SE are diazepam, lorazepam, and midazolam; for first-line IV therapy, lorazepam or diazepam are the preferred agents.
