In view of the increasing use of higher dosage units of buprenorphine for the treatment of pain and opioid dependence, the Board decided to calculate, as of 2010, one S-DDD to be equal to 8 mg of buprenorphine. Data on buprenorphine expressed in S-DDD in this publication are therefore not comparable with the corresponding data shown for previous years. — Par le passé, l’OICS se fondait, pour la buprénorphine, sur une S-DDD de 1,2 mg, ce qui correspondait à la dose utilisée pour le traitement de la douleur à la fin des années 90.

Moreover, some of benzodiazepines are widely used as an anti-depressive and sedative drugs, and also as anti-epileptic drugs and in some cases can be useful as an adjunct treatment in refractory epilepsies or anti-alcoholic therapy. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods, thin-layer chromatography (TLC) methods, gas chromatography (GC) methods, capillary electrophoresis (CE) methods and some of spectrophotometric and spectrofluorometric methods were developed and have been extensively applied to the analysis of number of benzodiazepine derivative drugs (BDZs) providing reliable and accurate results. The available chemical methods for the determination of BDZs in biological materials and pharmaceutical formulations are reviewed in this work.

In the event of inconsistency between the Japanese original and this English translation, the former shall prevail. II. Background of the investigation 1. Status in Japan Hypnotics and anxiolytics are prescribed by various specialties and widely used in clinical practice. In particular, benzodiazepine (BZ) receptor agonists, which act on BZ receptors, bind to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)A-BZ receptor complex and enhance the function of GABAA receptors. This promotes neurotransmission of inhibitory systems and demonstrates hypnotic/sedative effects, anxiolytic effects, muscle relaxant effects, and antispasmodic effects. Since the approval of chlordiazepoxide in March 1961, many BZ receptor agonists have been approved as hypnotics and anxiolytics. Currently, hypnotics and anxiolytics are causative agents of drug-related disorders such as drug dependence in Japanese clinical practice. Hypnotics and anxiolitics that rank high in causative agents are BZ receptor agonists for which high frequencies of high doses and multidrug prescriptions have been reported (Japanese Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology 2013; 16(6): 803-812, Modern Physician 2014; 34(6): 653-656, etc.).

    ■ PMDA Alert for Proper Use of Drugs https://www.pmda.go.jp/english/safety/info-services/drugs/properly- No. 11 March 2017 use-alert/0001.html PMDA Alert for Proper Use of Drugs Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency No. 11 March 2017 Dependence associated with Benzodiazepine Receptor Agonists [To Patients] This document is for healthcare professionals. If taking the drug, please consult with your physicians or pharmacists. Please don’t reduce the dosage or stop taking the drug on self-judgment. Benzodiazepine receptor agonists have a characteristic of developing physical dependence with long-term use even within an approved dose range, leading to various withdrawal symptoms on dose reduction or discontinuation. <Major withdrawal symptoms> insomnia, anxiety, feeling irritated, headache, queasy/vomiting, delirium, tremor, seizure, etc. Please pay careful attention to the following when using benzodiazepine receptor agonists as hypnotics-sedatives and anxiolytics. Healthcare professionals should avoid long-term use with chronic administration. - Dependence may occur with long-term use even within an approved dose range. - Therapeutic necessity should be carefully considered when continuing administration of the drug. Healthcare professionals should adhere to the dosage and confirm that there is no multiple prescription of similar drugs. - Long-term administration, high-dose administration, or multiple medications increase the risk of developing dependence. - Healthcare professionals should confirm that similar drugs are not prescribed by other medical institutions. Healthcare professionals should reduce the dose or discontinue carefully such as by gradual dose reduction or alternate-days administration when discontinuing the administration. - Sudden discontinuation will develop serious withdrawal symptoms in addition to aggravate primary diseases.

Received: 2016.05.16; Accepted: 2016.09.27; Published: 2016.10.18 Abstract Purpose: Some studies have suggested that the use of benzodiazepines in the elderly is associated with an increased risk of dementia. However, this association might be due to confounding by indication and reverse causation. To examine the association between benzodiazepine anxiolytic drug use and the risk of dementia, we conducted data mining of a spontaneous reporting database and a large organized database of prescriptions. Methods: Data from the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) from the first quarter of 2004 through the end of 2013 and data from the Canada Vigilance Adverse Reaction Online Database from the first quarter of 1965 through the end of 2013 were used for the analyses.
