Camazepam

Camazepam is a benzodiazepine psychoactive drug, sold under the brand names Albego, Limpidon and Paxor. It is the dimethyl carbamate ester of temazepam. Camazepam has been marketed for many years in several countries around the world.

Pharmacology

Camazepam acts on the same proteins that other benzodiazepines do. These proteins are known as GABA_A receptors. When camazepam binds to these receptors, it enhances the effects of the neurotransmitter gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA). This results in sedative, sleep-inducing, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant properties.

Medical uses

Camazepam is primarily used for the short-term relief of anxiety symptoms. It may also be used for the treatment of insomnia. However, it is not the first choice of treatment for these conditions due to the risk of dependency and withdrawal symptoms.

Side effects

Like other benzodiazepines, camazepam can cause a range of side effects. These may include drowsiness, confusion, and memory impairment. More serious side effects can include dependency and withdrawal symptoms.
