Impaired nitrazepam metabolism in hypothyroidism ROSE

چکیده
Nitrazepam is frequently used for sedation in elderly patients, some of whom may be particularly sensitive to its central effects. There have been no previous reports of delayed metabolism of nitrazepam in association with hypothyroidism. The following case report illustrates such a delay and also demonstrates some of the atypical features of hypothyroidism at presentation in elderly subjects.
