Camazepam (marketed under the brand names Albego, Limpidon, and Paxor) is a benzodiazepine psychoactive drug which is the dimethyl carbamate ester of temazepam, a metabolite of diazepam. Whilst it possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, skeletal muscle relaxant and hypnotic properties it differs from other benzodiazepines in that its anxiolytic properties are particularly marked but has only limited anticonvulsant, hypnotic and skeletal muscle rela...

Whilst it possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, skeletal muscle relaxant and hypnotic properties it differs from other benzodiazepines in that its anxiolytic properties are particularly marked but has only limited anticonvulsant, hypnotic and skeletal muscle relaxant properties. It is superior to other benzodiazepines due to its lack of typical benzodiazepine side effects such as impaired cognition, reaction times and coordination. Camazepam is best suited as an anxiolytic due to its reduced hypnotic effects and reduced cognitive and motor impairing effects. However, with higher doses such as 40 mg of camazepam, impairments similar to those which occur with other benzodiazepines appear such as disrupted sleep pattern and impaired cognitive performance. Animal studies have shown camazepam and its...
