Do Benzodiazepines Cause Miosis?
There Is a Close Relationship Between Arousal and Pupil Diameter, Decrease in the Level of Arousal Being Accompanied by Constriction of the Pupil (Miosis)...
There is a close relationship between arousal and pupil diameter, decrease in the level of arousal being accompanied by constriction of the pupil (miosis), probably reflecting the attenuation of sympathetic outflow as sedation sets in. Paradoxically, sedation induced by benzodiazepines is not accompanied by miosis.
What drugs can cause miosis?
- fentanyl.
- oxycodone (Oxycontin)
- codeine.
- heroin.
- morphine.
- methadone.
