Pharmacodynamics

Fludiazepam is a benzodiazepine derivative. It possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, sedative and skeletal muscle relaxant properties. Fludiazepam accumulates primarily in the cortex and thalamus.

Mechanism of action

Fludiazepam has similar action to diazepam, but binds with four times more affinity to benzodiazepine receptors than diazepam.
