What medication is used to reverse the sedative effects of benzodiazepines?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Flumazenil
Flumazenil is a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist used to reverse the sedative/respiratory depressant effects of benzodiazepines. (Naloxone, by contrast, is the reversal agent specific to opioids, not benzodiazepines — a frequently tested distinction.)
