A diazepam 10-mg autoinjector was evaluated in bioequivalence and dose proportionality studies; both involved 24 young, healthy subjects and used randomized, open-label, 2-treatment, 2-period crossover designs with a 3-week washout period between treatments. The bioequivalence study compared a single diazepam

beta-Glucuronidase is an enzyme often employed to de-conjugate beta-glucuronides during urinary drug testing for benzodiazepines. It is commonly accepted that use of beta-glucuronidase is a preferred method of hydrolysis over acid-catalyzed hydrolysis, which is known to induce benzodiazepine degradation and
