  a. The effects of alcohol will potentiate the effects of the medication given, therefore the paramedic should use with caution if alcohol use is suspected.
  b. Benzodiazepine medications have a very narrow therapeutic index and should be used sparingly in the prehospital setting to avoid overdosage
  c. The effects of anticonvulsant medications can be antagonized utilizing naloxone, therefore, they should only be used if naloxone is on hand
  d. Only a single dose of anticonvulsant medications should be used due to the long half -life of the medications
