Phenazepam is a benzodiazepine drug, which was developed in Soviet Union and now produced in Russia and some CIS countries. Phenazepam is used in the treatment of neurological disorders such as epilepsy, alcohol withdrawal and insomnia. It can be used as a premedication before surgery as it augments the effects of anesthetics and reduces anxiety.

Dosage: an average phenazepam dosage is 0.5 mg 2-3 times daily. The maximum daily dosage must not exceed 10 mg.

Side effects include dizziness, loss of coordination, drowsiness. As with other sedatives, in case of abrupt discontinuation following prolonged use, severe withdrawal symptoms may occur.

The demise of Crossair Flight 498 has been attributed at least partly to the use of phenazepam.
