Chlordiazepoxide, Serum
Clinical Information: Chlordiazepoxide (Librium) is a benzodiazepine widely used in the treatment
of anxiety. It is also used in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal symptoms, as a premedication for
anesthesia, in obstetrics during labor, as a muscle relaxant, and as an anticonvulsant. Toxic manifestations
can include confusion, ataxia, sedation, tachycardia, hyperreflexia, and hypertension. Fatalities resulting
from overdose are rare.
Useful For: Monitoring chlordiazepoxide therapy Because chlordiazepoxide has a wide therapeutic
index and dose-dependent toxicity, routine drug monitoring is not indicated in all patients
Interpretation: A therapeutic dose will yield a serum concentration of 1 to 3 mcg/mL. In the treatment
of delirium tremens, concentrations up to 10 mcg/mL are typical. Toxic concentration: > or =15 mcg/mL.
Reference Values:
Therapeutic concentration: 1.0-3.0 mcg/mL
Chronic use: 5.0-10.0 mcg/mL
Toxic concentration: > or =15.0 mcg/mL
The reference range cited (5.0-10.0 mcg/mL) relates to chronic therapy with chlordiazepoxide.
Concentrations in the range of 1.0-3.0 mcg/mL are typical for occasional, non-chronic use. Concentrations
