Chlordiazepoxide
See also Benzodiazepines
General information
Chlordiazepoxide, which has a long duration of action (half-life = 10–25 hours), is useful for the management of alcohol withdrawal and is arguably better tolerated than other benzodiazepines when used for this indication. As with diazepam, loading doses are possible and simplify clinical management.

The authors conjectured that hospitalization may have been necessitated by a drug interaction of chlordiazepoxide with medications that she was taking for other medical conditions.
