An incident is reported in which 2 intravenous drug abusers died as the result of uncontrolled experimentation with intravenous injection of the common anti-hypertensive and anti-anginal drug Nifedipine (Adalat t.m. Bayer), probably in mistake for the commonly abused short-acting benzodiazepine drug Temazepam. Large quantities of Nifedipine were identified in the blood of both decreased men by gas chromatography. Apart from intense gastric mucosal congestion, pulmonary oedema and general visceral congestion, the autopsy findings were entirely nonspecific. The similarity in colour, shape and texture between capsules of Nifedipine and those of Temazepam is likely to have prompted the mistake.
据报道，有一起事件，两名静脉注射毒品者因误将常用的抗高血压和抗心绞痛药物硝苯地平（拜耳公司的心痛定商标）进行静脉注射试验且未加控制而死亡，他们可能误将其当作了常用的被滥用短效苯二氮䓬类药物替马西泮。通过气相色谱法在两名死者的血液中均检测出大量硝苯地平。除了胃黏膜严重充血、肺水肿和全身内脏充血外，尸检结果完全无特异性。硝苯地平胶囊与替马西泮胶囊在颜色、形状和质地方面的相似性很可能导致了这一错误。
