E-DRUG: Benzodiazepines use: consistent with recommendations? --------------------------------------------------------------- [BC = British Columbia, a anadian province/region WB] Dear E-druggers, I would like to bring to your attention the November/December 2004 issue (#54) of the Therapeutics Letter: "Use of Benzodiazepines in BC: Is it consistent with recommendations?" that has just been published on the Therapeutics Initiative web-site at [http://www.ti.ubc.ca/pages/letter54.htm](http://www.ti.ubc.ca/pages/letter54.htm) In this Letter we describe the utilization of benzodiazepines in BC from 1996 to 2002, and we see a pattern which appears inconsistent with the recommendations of educational groups, regulators and manufacturers. I invite you to drop by and have a look at this Letter. Please feel free to forward this message to any of your friends or colleagues that might be interested in this topic. We would appreciate receiving your comments on this Therapeutics Letter and its possible implications in clinical practice.
