Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The progression in severity of withdrawal symptoms (increase in CIWA-Ar above baseline) was also significantly greater in the placebo group (p < 0."2.70Divalproex sodium in alcohol withdrawal: a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial. ( Baer, JS; Malte, CA; Reoux, JP; Saxon, AJ; Sloan, KL, 2001)
"Among patients who had withdrawal symptoms at baseline, vital signs became normal more rapidly in the patients receiving atenolol, and their abnormal behavioral characteristics also resolved more rapidly."2.66The efficacy of atenolol in the outpatient management of the alcohol withdrawal syndrome. Results of a randomized clinical trial. ( Gottlieb, LD; Horwitz, RI; Kraus, ML, 1989)
" Recent research suggests that this is due to metabolic and pharmacokinetic differences rather than an intrinsically more favourable toxic-to-therapeutic dosage ratio."2.64The clinical activity of oxazepam. ( Cardon, A; Fouks, L; Pinalie, B; Porcheron, JB, 1978)
"Oxazepam is an anxiolytic with established clinical efficacy."2.38Oxazepam: update 1989. ( Ayd, FJ, 1990)
"According to the guidelines, benzodiazepines with a short half-life are the reference medication to treat alcohol withdrawal syndrome."1.43Population Pharmacokinetics of High-Dose Oxazepam in Alcohol-Dependent Patients: Is There a Risk of Accumulation? ( Imbert, B; Liachenko, N; Marsot, A; Simon, N, 2016)
"Oxazepam is a safe, efficient and cheap drug for the treatment of alcohol withdrawal symptoms, but controlled studies are needed to compare its effectiveness with that of clomethiazol."1.36Oxazepam versus clomethiazol in alcohol withdrawal treatment. ( de Millas, W; Ganzer, F; Haasen, C; Kuhn, S, 2010)
"Despite similar intensity of alcohol withdrawal symptoms, ALC/COC subjects received less oxazepam to treat alcohol withdrawal symptoms compared to ALC subjects."1.31Concurrent cocaine withdrawal alters alcohol withdrawal symptoms. ( Insua, A; Kaempf, G; Kampman, KM; Lipkin, C; O'Brien, CP; Pettinati, H; Sparkman, T; Turk, E; Volpicelli, J, 2002)
" Drug was most often given on a fixed dosing schedule with additional medication "as needed" (52% of the programs)."1.29Alcohol withdrawal: a nationwide survey of inpatient treatment practices. ( Friedman, LS; Mayo-Smith, MF; Saitz, R, 1995)
" We report five cases of high-dose triazolam abuse in which the daily dosage ranged from 5 to 15 mg (100-300 mg diazepam equivalent) and the duration of use ranged from 3 months to 5 years."1.28Detoxification for triazolam physical dependence. ( Sellers, EM; Sullivan, JT, 1992)
"Seizures and delirium tremens were recorded among 292 randomly selected patients admitted to an in-patient alcoholism program."1.27Should alcohol withdrawal seizures be treated with anti-epileptic drugs? ( Hillbom, ME; Hjelm-Jäger, M, 1984)
" These findings and other results of pharmacokinetic research have clinical implications in terms of dosage schedules, drug accumulation during long-term therapy, antianxiety therapy in the elderly, drug interactions, pharmacotherapy in specific disease states, and the influence of route of administration on drug action."1.26Clinical implications of benzodiazepine pharmacokinetics. ( Greenblatt, DJ; Shader, RI, 1977)
"Oxazepam has no important active metabolites and its net disposition is minimally altered by disulfiram."1.26Interaction of disulfiram with benzodiazepines. ( Billings, BJ; Giles, HG; Greenblatt, DJ; MacLeod, SM; Marshman, JA; Martin, PR; Sellers, EM, 1978)
