Pharmacological requirements of patients during alcohol withdrawal.
A randomly selected group of alcoholics who reported for treatment was tested for blood alcohol and benzodiazepine values. Only 30% of patients had significantly high alcohol levels, but 20% had concomitant significantly high alcohol and benzodiazepine levels. These factors should be taken into account if pharmacotherapy is to be instituted for similar patients.
