Very little information is available on the passage of etizolam into milk. An alternate drug is preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. If etizolam is used, monitor the infant for sedation, poor feeding and poor weight gain.Drug LevelsMaternal
Is etizolam a safe medication? Effects on psychomotor perfomance at therapeutic dosages of a newly abused psychoactive substance. Etizolam is a drug from the thienotriazoldiazepine class, widely prescribed as anxiolytic due to its apparently secure toxicological profile. Nevertheless, some recent cases of etizolam dependence, intoxications and fatalities associated to its abuse have been reported in the international literature. For this reason, the drug listed as new psychoactive substance (NPS) by the World Health Organization (WHO) since 2015. Euphoric effect at high dosage is the first cause of its recreational use that has determined a wider distribution in the illicit market. An experimental study was performed to obtain evidence that etizolam at low therapeutic dosages is a drug with negligible
supply (e.g., etizolam, flualprazolam, flubromazolam) directly contributed to death, we also reported the percentage of opioid-related toxicity deaths where benzodiazepines were detected (but not necessarily direct contributors to death). More information on the classification and grouping of substances identified in post-mortem toxicology is included in Appendix A. We described the location of death
substances were determined to be direct contributors to death. Furthermore, due to a lack of clear thresholds to determine whether benzodiazepines in the unregulated drug supply (e.g., etizolam, flualprazolam, flubromazolam) directly contributed to death, we also reported the percentage of opioid toxicity deaths where benzodiazepines were detected (but not necessarily direct contributors to death
, with alcohol (13.4%) or benzodiazepines (8.6%) less frequently involved.2 Importantly, in recent years the majority of substance-related toxicity deaths are attributable to non-pharmaceutical/unregulated opioids (i.e., fentanyl), benzodiazepines (e.g., etizolam) and stimulants (i.e., cocaine and methamphetamines)2. Additionally, there is a rising trend in polysubstance use and related harms, with co prior to death, these medications were not necessarily a direct contributor to subsequent benzodiazepine-related toxicity deaths.NOTE21Nearly half of benzodiazepine-related toxicity deaths (49.8%, N=390) occurred among people who had a non-pharmaceutical benzodiazepine (such as: bromazolam, etizolam, flualprazolam, and flubromazolam) directly contributing to death. These unregulated
substances were determined to be direct contributors to death. Furthermore, due to a lack of clear thresholds to determine whether benzodiazepines in the unregulated drug supply (e.g., etizolam, flualprazolam, flubromazolam) directly contributed to death, we also reported the percentage of opioid toxicity deaths where benzodiazepines were detected (but not necessarily direct contributors to death
lutte contre les toxicomanies Page 2 CCENDU Site Local situation Local responses British Columbia Drug checking services, including Vancouver Island Drug Checking (VIDC) and 14 sites coordinated by the B.C. Centre on Substance Use (BCCSU), first identified a nitazene in Jan. 2021. VIDC identified isotonitazene in 12 samples in 2021; of these, nine also contained fentanyl, etizolam and caffeine detected on a regular basis. These two are almost always detected alone and in tablet form, whereas other, less frequently detected nitazenes (etodesnitazene, metonitazene, etonitazepyne) tend to appear in powder form and alongside fentanyl or etizolam (an NMB). According to regional health advisories, several tablets sold as oxycodone or hydromorphone contained nitazenes instead of the expected
flualprazolam, flubromazepam, flubromazolam and etizolam (see the CCENDU Bulletin on NMBs for more information). Conversely, the proportion of fentanyl samples that contained xylazine increased from 1.4% in all of 2020 to 6.9% so far in 2022 (January to May), and the proportion of fentanyl samples containing both xylazine and an NMB increased from 0% in all of 2020 to 4.5% so far in 2022 (January to May
Bay (25.8% and 59.8%, respectively) and lowest in Laval (0.0% for both) (Appendix B Table 3). Expected and Unexpected Use 1 Starting in 2020, three non-medical benzodiazepines were added to the LifeLabs Ontario broad spectrum urine toxicology detection menu (flubromazolam, flualprazolam, etizolam). Therefore, overall detection and unexpected use of benzodiazepines in B.C. and Edmonton may services, they may not reliably detect nonmedical benzodiazepines emerging in the drug supply (e.g., etizolam) (Laing et al., 2021). Due to these factors, special consideration is needed to address the harms related to benzodiazepines in the unregulated drug supply (CCENDU, 2021). Further research is needed at the intersection of substance use, gender and social determinants of health. Many trends
. These substances include: • Novel synthetic opioids (particularly U-47700 and other compounds in the U-series); • Benzodiazepines (particularly etizolam, flualprazolam and flubromazolam); and • Synthetic cannabinoids (particularly AMB-FUBINACA). These substances are of concern because t hey can alter overdose symptoms and respond differently to overdose interventions (e.g., benzodiazepines do not respond samples submitted to DAS (April 2018 – August 2019; n = 23,338) Co-occurring substances Appear in number (%) of samples None, only opioids present 7,242 (31%) Other psychoactive substances (any) 2,998 (13%) Benzodiazepines1 85 (<1%); of these, 57 (67%) etizolam Synthetic cannabinoids 70 (<1%) Other commonly detected psychoactive substances2 Methamphetamine: 1,193 (5%) Cocaine: 1,025 (4%) Cutting
, pathology and demographic information. San Francisco conducts thorough investigations into all non-natural and sudden unexpected deaths, including routine alcohol and drug testing of decedents under its jurisdiction, including etizolam, flualprazolam, flubromazolam and bromazolam analysis. There was a sudden surge in bromazolam-related deaths, with 44 fatalities documented in 2023, contrasting
that people use combinations of drugs which increases the chance of a DRD. Many deaths involve 'street' benzodiazepines, especially a drug called etizolam. Many of the 'street' benzodiazepines are not licensed in the UK so come from illegal sources. People who use opiates can be prescribed a safer replacement medication (e.g., methadone).

daily at bedtime throughout pregnancy and lactation. She was also taking etizolam 0.5 to 1 mg daily. Breast milk samples were collected 4 times on days 5 and 6 postpartum. Trazodone and its metabolite 1-m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) milk concentrations measured at 7.2 hours after a dose were 50.2 and 3.2 mcg/L; concentrations at 18.9 hours after the dose were 21.2 and 1.3 mcg/L; concentrations 15-week-old infant was breastfed during maternal therapy with trazodone 100 mg daily and venlafaxine 150 mg daily. No adverse reactions were reported by the mother or found in the medical records.[6]A woman took etizolam 1 mg and trazodone 50 mg once daily for 3 months postpartum. Her infant was over 50% breastfed and demonstrated no adverse reactions at the 1- and 3-month checkups. The infant’s

Five colostrum samples were taken during day 2 and 3 postpartum at times ranging from 8 to 19.6 hours after a dose. Milk concentrations ranged from 1.8 to 12.7 mcg/L, with the highest concentration in the sample taken 8 hours after the dose. The estimated daily infant dose via breastmilk using the highest milk
