Medazepam is a long-acting benzodiazepine that is used primarily as an anxiolytic for the treatment of anxiety and related disorders. It acts as a prodrug, being metabolized to active benzodiazepines such as diazepam, nordazepam, and oxazepam. While previously used in Europe and other regions, its approval and clinical use is now limited in many countries.
