Oxazepam is a short-to-intermediate-acting benzodiazepine.[7][8] Oxazepam is used for the treatment of anxiety[9][10] and insomnia and in the control of symptoms of alcohol withdrawal syndrome.

It is a metabolite of diazepam, prazepam, and temazepam,[11] and has moderate amnesic, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, hypnotic, sedative, and skeletal muscle relaxant properties compared to other benzodiazepines.[12]

It was patented in 1962 and approved for medical use in 1964.[13]
