Ketazolam (marketed under brand names Anseren, Anxon, Contamex, Loftran, Marcen, Sedotime, Solatran, Unakalm) is a drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative. It possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, sedative and skeletal muscle relaxant properties.
Ketazolam is not approved for sale in the United States or Canada. In South Africa, GlaxoSmithKline markets ketazolam under its Solatran trademark.[1] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration warns[2] that in Spain, ketazolam marketed as Marcen may sometimes be mistakenly confused with Narcan.
Ketazolam breaks down in the blood to diazepam which breaks down to demoxepam which breaks down to desmethyldiazepam.[1]
