Explanation

Midazolam is known for causing less thrombophlebitis due to its low blood solubility, has higher plasma protein binding which contributes to lower toxicity, and is more potent than diazepam. However, it does not bind to benzodiazepine receptors with three to four times greater affinity compared to diazepam.
