types of benzodiazepines
Last reviewed 01/2018
Diazepam and chlordiazepoxide are the most commonly used preparations - there is little point in using others which appear to have very similar properties and are more costly, although some, for example temazepam and triazolam have a shorter duration of action and therefore are more appropriate as hypnotics.
Types available include:
- chlordiazepexide
- diazepam
- oxazepam
- nitrazepam
- temazepam
