| A Yorkshire Labour MP will today spearhead a new alert over the dangers of Valium and other benzodiazepine tranquillisers. |
|
| Treatment is started with a benzodiazepine, preferably lorazepam because of its relative rapid onset of action and long half-life. |
|
| An example is Anexate, a benzodiazepine antagonist developed by Roche and used in anesthesia and emergency medicine. |
|
| If convulsions occur after severe poisoning, give an intravenous injection of 5-10 mg diazepam or a benzodiazepine derivative. |
|
| There have been several studies of benzodiazepine use in our province, and there are some things I think are common across the piece. |
|
| Take the time to explain possible risks and adverse effects of benzodiazepine usage, including dependency issues. |
|
| Explain the need for patients to avoid alcohol while taking benzodiazepine medications. |
|
| Youth withdrawing from regular benzodiazepine use have a risk of withdrawal-related seizures. |
|
| If you look at the red line with the squares on it, that represents the benzodiazepine tablets dispensed per capita across Canada. |
|
| Compounds in these traditional medicines are known to act on systems in the brain in a similar way to the benzodiazepine class of medications. |
|
| As a result, they may have been prescribed benzodiazepine medications for longer periods or at higher doses than the average patient. |
|
| Discussion of the specific advantages: benzodiazepine tranquilliser, which is longer acting than either diazepam or midazolam. |
|
| Discussion of the specific advantages: clean reversal of benzodiazepine sedation required after infusion during total intravenous anaesthesia. |
|
| Because it was legal to buy the benzodiazepine flunitrazepam in Mexico for personal use, that country became a major source of Rohypnol coming into the United States. |
|
| Drugs such as the opioid antagonist naloxone and the benzodiazepine antagonist flumazenil may be used to counter the respiratory depressive effects of these drugs. |
|
| It is also important to note that while benzodiazepine use declined during this period, the number of eligible clients rose during the same period. |
|
| We know that the Z-drugs, some of the most widely used pharmacologies for insomnia, are benzodiazepine receptor agonists. |
|
| You mentioned that benzodiazepine wasn't considered addictive in the past. |
|
| I'm going to ask, do the procedures you use, manage, and work with tracking this stuff show the prescription of benzodiazepine to be way up on top of the charts? |
|
| Neuroadaptive processes in GABAergic and glutamatergic systems in benzodiazepine dependence. |
|
|
|
| In addition, benzodiazepine sleeping pills taken during the last weeks of pregnancy have been known to sedate the baby and may also cause withdrawal symptoms after birth. |
|
| Over the following 20 years 253 developed dementia, 30 cases of which were in benzodiazepine users. |
|
| Diazepam, a benzodiazepine utilized mainly as an anxiolytic, and phenobarbital, a barbiturate mainly used as an anti-epileptic, are the most widely consumed psychotropic substances. |
|
| After the benzodiazepine has been antagonized with flumazenil, any residual respiratory depressant effect of other agents, such as opiates, should be appropriately treated. |
|
| In the 80s and 90s, the benzodiazepine tranquilliser, Valium, was used extensively to treat anxiety. |
|
| In 1956 Mr Sternbach, fiddling with yet another benzodiazepine, treated it with methylamine, made a white crystalline powder, labelled it Ro 5-0690 and put it away on a shelf. |
|
| In patients who have taken a benzodiazepine for many months or longer, withdrawal symptoms occur in 15 to 40 percent of the cases and may take weeks or months to subside. |
|
| A common scenario supporting the need for a national real-time electronic database involves an elderly patient who has started on a benzodiazepine to help him or her sleep. |
|
| I KNOW several people, mainly elderly, addicted to one or other of the benzodiazepine tranquillisers eg. |
|
| Eszopiclone is believed to interact with the GABA-receptor complex at binding domains close to the benzodiazepine receptor. |
|
| Before discussing whether trials could possibly determine which benzodiazepine treatment is superior, a brief review of second line therapy and trials will be discussed. |
|
| When it enters the brain, it has a strong affinity for the benzodiazepine receptors and causes a desirable calmative effect which you have observed. |
|
| To construct a reliable and clinically practical instrument for monitoring opioid and benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms in pediatric critical care patients. |
|
| Central benzodiazepine receptor agonists have been known to induce multiple effects including anxiolytic, myorelaxant, anticovulsant, hypnotic and amnestic effects. |
|
| The study was designed to examine the effect of a direct-to-consumer educational intervention on benzodiazepine therapy discontinuation in community-dwelling older adults. |
|
| Of specific interest are those patients with anxiety disorders, including PD, who have comorbid substance-related conditions, specifically in relation to benzodiazepine use. |
