Potassium clorazepate is a benzodiazepine prodrug used primarily as an anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, and for the management of alcohol withdrawal symptoms. It is converted in the body to its active metabolite nordiazepam (desmethyldiazepam). It is approved and used in several countries for anxiety disorders, epilepsy, and adjunct therapy in acute alcohol withdrawal.
