RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 A review of two safety factors in the use of paraldehyde JF The Journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners JO J R Coll Gen Pract FD British Journal of General Practice SP 622 OP 624 VO 30 IS 219 A1 Bacon, Lesley YR 1980 UL http://bjgp.org/content/30/219/622.abstract AB Clinical observations and laboratory tests suggest that, contrary to normal practice, paraldehyde can be used with certain plastic syringes and has been safely used when well over six months old. This may make its use as an anticonvulsant in primary care more widely acceptable.
