It will be very interesting to read the safety outcomes. The recent dexdor studies highlighted that we have to think about side effects, just like with every drug. | 1 |

It's amazing! They might start in the ICU but they definitely do not stay in the ICU for DTs anymore... | 1 |

It unfortunately propagates antiquated recommendation: starts w Lorazepam, which should only be used in alcohol withdrawal seizures, which occur in <5% of patients. | 1 |

The alternatives are not exactly harmless either. I must admit, that I don’t know the literature in/out but zinc deficiency was not really on my radar as much as oversedation with BZDs or cardiac complications with A2agonists | 17 |
