abstract="BACKGROUND: Pharmaceuticals with little to no abuse potential are often sold surreptitiously as drugs of abuse on the street. Anecdotally, sulfonylureas are suspected to be commonly sold as &quot;street Valium.&quot; CASE REPORTS: Two patients presented with altered mental status and persistent hypoglycemia requiring continuous intravenous dextrose, in the context of suspected attempted benzodiazepine abuse. Supratherapeutic glyburide levels of 1198 and 647 ng/mL were measured in these patients. CONCLUSIONS: These are two cases of glyburide poisonings from ingestion of &quot;street Valium&quot; that have been confirmed by laboratory testing.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
