Cloxazolam

Cloxazolam is a benzodiazepine with anxiolytic, hypnotic, and muscle-relaxing effects. It acts by modulating the GABA-A receptor and enhances the inhibitory effect of GABA in the central nervous system. The substance is medically used for the treatment of anxiety disorders and sleep disturbances. Due to its potential for dependence, its use should be carefully monitored.
