Etizolam

Etizolam belongs to a new class of diazepines, thienotriazolodiazepines. This new class is easily oxidized, rapidly metabolized, and has a lower risk of accumulation, even after prolonged treatment. Etizolam has an anxiolytic action about 6 times greater than that of diazepam. Etizolam produces, especially at higher dosages, a reduction in time taken to fall asleep, an increase in total sleep time and a reduction in the number of awakenings. During tests there were not substantial changes in deep sleep. There is a reduction of REM sleep. In tests, Etizolam showed some characteristics of tricyclic antidepressants. Etizolam (marketed under the brand name Etilaam, Etizola, Sedekopan, Pasaden or Depas) is a thienodiazepine drug which is a benzodiazepine analog. It possesses amnesic, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, hypnotic, sedative and skeletal muscle relaxant properties.

Initially introduced in 1983 in Japan as treatment for neurological conditions such as anxiety and sleep disorders, etizolam is marketed in Japan, Italy and India. It is not approved for use by FDA in the US; however it remains unscheduled in several states and is legal for research purposes. The dependence and abuse potential of benzodiazepines is well recognized. This has resulted in the search for novel anxiolytics devoid of such potential. Etizolam is a thienodiazepine anxiolytic and is said to have low tolerance and dependence liability than benzodiazepines.

It also helps patients with post-operative pain. It is useful for fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fractures and other painful diseases like colic, etc.

Dependence

The claim of low dependence potential of etizolam has led to it being prescribed liberally in the markets where it is available for a long time, like Japan. This myth is being realized now after it has become the most frequently prescribed benzodiazepine there. Perhaps, this is the reason for its nonavailability in developed markets of United States of America and Europe. It was approved for use in India and perhaps because of late entry, remains one of the least used benzodiazepine in India. However, the literature about its abuse and dependence potential is sparse. The rapid relief of anxiety by ultra-short-action and feeling of anxiety after the action wears off may lead to dependence by both positive and negative behavioral reinforcement. This case report highlights the fact that the same caution be applied while prescribing etizolam with respect to dependence potential as for any other benzodiazepine. In the case of development of dependence, treatment of the primary disorder, substitution with longer-acting benzodiazepines, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors and psychotherapy are various options that can be exercised.
