Intravenous zolpidem injection in a zolpidem abuser.

Zolpidem abuse has been frequently observed in recent years. This study presents a case of zolpidem abuse. Although numerous cases of zolpidem dependence have been reported, this is the first case to report zolpidem intravenous injection without any history of opiate use. Clinicians should monitor patients with a history of zolpidem abuse and be aware that there is a risk of zolpidem injection. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.
