| Mexazolam |
Mexazolam is a benzodiazepine indicated for the management of anxiety disorder associated or not to psychoneurotic conditions. The exact sites and mode of action have not been fully elucidated, but it appears to be mediated through the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), by the stimulation of specific receptors. Both GABA and chloride may enhance the binding to those receptors. |
