Rapid diagnosis of alprazolam poisoning by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy on saliva samples.

Alprazolam benzodiazepine misuse is increasingly a public health concern, evidenced by rising cases of overdose and toxicity. Timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective emergency room treatment. This study investigates the use of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy as a rapid diagnostic tool for assessing alprazolam toxicity using saliva samples.
