Zopiclone - Detection in Biological Fluids

Detection in Biological Fluids

Zopiclone may be measured in blood, plasma, or urine by chromatographic methods. Plasma zopiclone concentrations are typically less than 100 μg/L during therapeutic usage, but frequently exceed 100 μg/L in automotive vehicle operators arrested for impaired driving ability and may exceed 1000 μg/L in acutely poisoned patients. Postmortem blood concentrations are usually in a range of 0.4-3.9 mg/L in victims of fatal acute overdosage.

Famous quotes containing the word biological:

    No poetic phantasy
    but a biological reality,
    a fact: I am an entity
    like bird, insect, plant
    or sea-plant cell;
    I live; I am alive.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
