General information
Oxazepam, which is a metabolite of temazepam and desmethyldiazepam, is itself used as a benzodiazepine for the management of insomnia. It is slowly absorbed, has a relatively short half-life (5–15 hours), and is metabolized primarily by glucuronidation [ ].
Drug studies
Comparative studies
Oxazepam has been compared with Passiflora incarnata extract in a double-blind, randomized trial in 26 out-patients with DSM-IV generalized anxiety disorder [ ]. Both were effective, but oxazepam had a more rapid onset of action and caused significantly more problems relating to work performance.
