摘要
新研究发现依赖苯二氮平类药物的老年人,罹患阿尔茨海默症的风险较高。
苯二氮平类药物——市面上销售的药品名称包括阿普唑仓、安定、络艾塞半、氯硝西泮——广泛用于治疗失眠、躁动与焦虑,而这三样症状都可能是即将罹患阿尔茨海默症的初期迹象。
Older people who have relied on a class of drugs called benzodiazepines are at higher risk of [developing] Alzheimer's disease, new research [found].
Benzodiazepines-marketed under such names as Xanax, Valium, Ativan and Klonopin- are widely used to treat insonia, agitation and anxiety, all of which can be early signs of impending Alzheimer's disease.
