Indication For the treatment of anxiety disorders.
Pharmacology Oxazepam is a drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative. It possesses relatively weak anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, sedative and skeletal muscle relaxant properties.
Mechanism of Action Oxazepam is believed to stimulate GABA receptors in the ascending reticular activating system. Since GABA is inhibitory, receptor stimulation increases inhibition and blocks both cortical and limbic arousal following stimulation of the brain stem reticular formation.
Absorption Well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract following oral administration.
Toxicity Symptoms of overdose include confusion, drowsiness, and lethargy.
