A clinical view of clobazam.

1 The results so far published in the literature, together with our own results, show that in clobazam (Frisium) we have a daytime tranquilizer which is comparable to the newest benzodiazepine derivatives. 2 It is particularly indicated in disorders of the sleeping-waking rhythm, and sometimes also in psychovegetative disorders associated with epilepsy. 3. Its tranquillizing profile of action, the low incidence of side-effects and the absence of interactions with other drugs mean that its applications are varied, not only in neuropsychiatry but also in other medical disciplines. 4 The fact that therapeutic doses do not seem to impair driving ability to render patients incapable of carrying on their profession, means that it is suitable for the treatment of outpatients.

Anti-Anxiety Agents

[Psychopharmacologic drugs in the rehabilitation after myocardial infarct].

The specific use of psychotropic agents in myocardial infarction has become possible due to interdisciplinary cooperation. Especially the differentiated therapeutic application of benzodiazepine derivatives will take into better account the different psychopathologic states in the various phases. The medicamentous facilities are extended by using the central and peripheral effects of the beta-blockers. After a myocardial infarction there are various somatic and mental symptoms. This requires precise medical and psychological management with reference to a diagnostic and combined-therapeutic schedule of treatment. An intensive co-operation with all medical departments is a conditio sine qua non.
