The effect of benzodiazepines on the brain happens also via other (GABA) receptors. It is unlikely that they would single out PRB's. Also, lots of other common OTC or prescription drugs can affect driving or performance in operating machinery. It is unlikely that they would single out this select group. I would check with the client!
peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor geneesmiddelen
Which I think is the answer. Of course I will translate it as Peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor medications (which cause drowsiness) in my text and I will check this with the client.
