ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To compare the characteristics of dextropropoxyphene (DXP) poisoning victims with those of victims of poisonings by antidepressants and sedatives, we examined all fatal poisonings due to DXP, antidepressants or sedatives among autopsies performed at one department of forensic medicine in Sweden during the six-year period from 1992 to 1997."7.70Among fatal poisonings dextropropoxyphene predominates in younger people, antidepressants in the middle aged and sedatives in the elderly. ( Jonasson, B; Jonasson, U; Saldeen, T, 2000)
"Of the 200 poisoning deaths in NZ for 2001, 39 involved hypnosedatives, and zopiclone was involved in 12."3.72Comparison of the fatal toxicity index of zopiclone with benzodiazepines. ( Fountain, J; McDowell, R; Reith, DM; Tilyard, M, 2003)
