title: Ketazolam compared to diazepam and placebo in the treatment of anxiety.
abstract: Compared to placebo, ketazolam given once daily was more effective in alleviating the symptoms of anxiety than was diazepam given three times a day in this 28-day double-blind study in fifty-six out-patients. Ketazolam patients reported fewer, milder side-effects than diazepam patients. In particular, drowsiness was reported less than 8% as often during ketazolam treatment as during diazepam treatment.
