Klordiazepoksit

Chlordiazepoxide was the first benzodiazepine synthesized and is primarily prescribed for anxiety disorders and acute alcohol withdrawal. It has a long half-life and produces long-lasting active metabolites, making it useful for tapering but inappropriate for elderly patients due to accumulation risk. Abrupt discontinuation after prolonged use can cause life-threatening withdrawal including seizures. Always taper gradually under medical supervision.
