Ketazolam compared to diazepam and placebo in the treatment of anxiety.
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.
