Studies of drugs given before anaesthesia XXV: Medazepam, a new benzodiazepine

Abstract

Summary: Medazepam, a new benzodiazepine, was studied as an oral preanaesthetic medication in adult women in a dose of 10 mg, and the findings compared with those obtained with diazepam 10 mg or a dummy capsule using a double-blind technique. In the doses used medazepam produced less drowsiness than diazepam and was no more anxiolytic than the placebo. © 1975 Macmillan Journals Ltd.
