• In a multivariate model, the strongest individual risk factors for default included reporting smoking marijuana or mandrax during treatment, and having an unsatisfactory opinion about the attitude of health care workers [3].

• Methaqualone (primarily Mandrax) abuse among United States troops stationed in Europe increased significantly from 1972 onward as seen by morbidity reports related to medical treatment and mortality studies related to autopsy toxicology reports [7].

Chemical compound and disease context of Mandrax

• Methaqualone (Mandrax) abuse, urine testing, and identification: clinical correlation between a new mass urinalysis test and a military drug abuse program [4].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Mandrax

• Mandrax as a premedication in cataract surgery [8].
• An interaction between alcohol and Mandrax was apparent in the results obtained from the Stroop and visual analogue scale on the third day [9].
• Because of the uncertainty of surveys on how prevalent was Mandrax use (anywhere from 5 to 90%, depending on who was consulted), a random selection of urines was done in September/November 1973 [4].
• DESIGN: A descriptive, epidemiological study of cannabis and Mandrax supply and demand indicators based on data gathered from multiple sources, including specialist treatment centres, trauma units, police records, and quantitative and qualitative studies of school students, sex workers, persons attending rave clubs, and arrestees [5].
