摘要: Benzodiazepines are commonly abused drugs. Accordingly, urine specimens often screened for benzodiazepines as part of drug-testing programs. However, immunoassays have different detection limits regarding the and their metabolites. Some therapeutically effective in low doses, also making difficult. Flunitrazepam belongs to this potent group low-dosage benzodiazepines. The metabolites flunitrazepam reported react weakly with most (1). Therefore, more time-consuming chromatographic analyses carried out detect intake.
