Pharmacology
Ro20-8552, like other benzodiazepines, works by enhancing the effect of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at the GABAA receptor, resulting in sedative, hypnotic (sleep-inducing), anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant properties.
Medical Uses
Ro20-8552 is primarily used for its anxiolytic and anticonvulsant effects. It is used in the treatment of anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and seizure disorders. It is also used as a muscle relaxant and a sedative.
Side Effects
Like other benzodiazepines, Ro20-8552 can cause side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, and loss of coordination. It can also cause more serious side effects such as memory problems, mental/mood changes, and addiction.
