flunitrazepam and Ataxia

flunitrazepam has been researched along with Ataxia in 5 studies

Flunitrazepam: A benzodiazepine with pharmacologic actions similar to those of DIAZEPAM that can cause ANTEROGRADE AMNESIA. Some reports indicate that it is used as a date rape drug and suggest that it may precipitate violent behavior. The United States Government has banned the importation of this drug.
flunitrazepam : A 1,4-benzodiazepinone that is nitrazepam substituted by a methyl group at position 1 and by a fluoro group at position 2'. It is a potent hypnotic, sedative, and amnestic drug used to treat chronic insomnia.

Ataxia: Impairment of the ability to perform smoothly coordinated voluntary movements. This condition may affect the limbs, trunk, eyes, pharynx, larynx, and other structures. Ataxia may result from impaired sensory or motor function. Sensory ataxia may result from posterior column injury or PERIPHERAL NERVE DISEASES. Motor ataxia may be associated with CEREBELLAR DISEASES; CEREBRAL CORTEX diseases; THALAMIC DISEASES; BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES; injury to the RED NUCLEUS; and other conditions.

"Sleepiness, agitation and ataxia were significantly more frequent in the children."5.28Acute poisonings with ethyle loflazepate, flunitrazepam, prazepam and triazolam in children. ( Descotes, J; Frantz, P; Mollon, P; Pham, E; Pulce, C, 1992)

"unconsciousness, ataxia and hypotonia, the physician should always think of benzodiazepine intoxication and try to confirm or to exclude this possibility by toxicological analysis."1.28[A drowsy child: benzodiazepine poisoning?]. ( Nanninga-van den Neste, VH; Notermans, NC; Savelkoul, TJ; van Dijk, A; van Gelderen, CE, 1989)
"Muscimol was a more potent stimulator of 36Cl- flux in the DS compared to the DR mice, although no difference between the lines was found in muscimol-stimulation of [3H]flunitrazepam binding."1.27Genetic selection for benzodiazepine ataxia produces functional changes in the gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor chloride channel complex.
