Clotiazepam pills sold in France as Vératran

Clotiazepam[3](marketed under brand nameClozan,Distensan,Trecalmo,Rize,RizenandVeratran) is athienodiazepinedrug which is abenzodiazepineanalog. The clotiazepam molecule differs from benzodiazepines in that the benzene ring has been replaced by athiophenering.[4]It possessesanxiolytic,[5]skeletal muscle relaxant,[6]anticonvulsant,sedativeproperties.[7]Stage 2NREMsleep is significantly increased by clotiazepam.[8]

Indications[edit]

Clotiazepam has been trialed and found to be effective in the short-term management ofanxiety.[9]Clotiazepam is also used as apremedicantin minor surgery inFranceandJapan,where the drug is commercially available under the brand namesVeratranandRize,respectively.[10][11]

Pharmacokinetics[edit]

A cross-over study in six healthy volunteers (median age 28 years) was conducted using single-dose pharmacokinetics of 5 mg clotiazepamdrops,oral tablets,andsublingual tablets.The formulations had similar systemic availability. Compared with oral tablets, the sublingual route gave a lower peak concentration and a delayed peak time, while drops gave a greater maximum concentration with a similar peak time. The use of drops is suggested for a more marked initial effect and the sublingual route for easier administration, especially in the elderly.[12]

Pharmacology[edit]

Similar to other benzodiazepines clotiazepam hasanxiolytic,sedative,hypnotic,amnesic,anticonvulsantandmuscle relaxantpharmacological properties.[7]Clotiazepam binds to the benzodiazepine site of the GABAAreceptor where it acts as a full agonist; this action results in an enhanced GABA inhibitory effect at the GABAAreceptor which results in the pharmacological effects of clotiazepam.[13]

Clotiazepam has a shortelimination half-lifeand is less prone to accumulation after repeated dosing compared to longer-acting benzodiazepine agents. It is metabolised via oxidation.[14]Clotiazepam is metabolised to hydroxy-clotiazepam and desmethyl-clotiazepam. After oral ingestion of a single 5 mg dose of clotiazepam by three healthy volunteers the drug was rapidly absorbed.[15]The elimination half-life of the drug and its metabolites range from 6.5 hours to 18 hours. Clotiazepam is 99 percent bound to plasma protein.[15]In elderly men the elimination half-life is longer and in elderly women the volume of distribution is increased.[16]Individuals with liver impairment have a reduced volume of distribution as well as a reduced total clearance of clotiazepam; renal impairment does not affect the kinetics of clotiazepam.[17]

The dose equivalent to 10 mg diazepam is thought to be between 5 and 10 mg clotiazepam.

Side effects[edit]

Side effects experienced with this product will resemble those of other benzodiazepines. Drowsinessandastheniaare common side effects.[18]There has been a report of reversiblehepatitiscaused by clotiazepam.[19]

Abuse[edit]

Clotiazepam is a recogniseddrug of abuse.[20]
