Etizolam 1 mg is a benzodiazepine. It works by increasing the action of a chemical messenger (GABA) which suppresses the abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells in the brain.

Etizolam is similar to diazepam or Valium. This medication is similar to other benzodiazepines, though its chemical makeup is different. Benzos are made up of a benzene ring, while Etizolam is made up of a thiophene ring.

Studies and various animal testing have shown that Etizolam depresses the central nervous system. It is a very effective muscle relaxer, anti-convulsion, sedative, sleep aid, and anti-anxiety medication. According to World Health Organization, Etizolam’s effects are six to 10 times more potent than diazepam. It is not legally available for use in the United States; however, it is lawfully available in countries like Japan, India, and Italy under names such as; Depas, Pasadena, Etilaam, Etizest, Sedekopan, Etizolam.
