Extract

It is generally agreed that there are many objections to the use of cardiazol and azoman (triazol) as convulsants. The treatment is generally disliked and the injections are attended by much apprehension. There is frequently amnesia, though usually of a temporary nature. There may be some actual damage to the brain, fractures are not infrequent, and other complications sometimes occur. Old tuberculous lesions have been reactivated and deaths have occurred in status epilepticus from the use of azoman.
