Benzodiazepine. Oxazepam is a central-acting CNS depressant with action similar to diazepam. Its mechanism of action appears to be via potentiation of GABA- receptor–mediated effects in the CNS. Oxazepam is one of the active products of metabolism from diazepam. In contrast to diazepam, oxazepam does not undergo extensive hepatic metabolism in animals, but it is glucuronidated before excretion. In dogs, oxazepam has a half-life of 5-6 hours, but these values were derived from administration of the parent drug diazepam. Oxazepam is eliminated by direct conjugation with glucuronide, without other intermediate metabolites produced, whereas diazepam and other benzodiazepines may produce other intermediate active metabolites.
Oxazepam is used for sedation and to stimulate appetite. The appetite-stimulating effects have been used, particularly in cats that may have diminished appetites caused by other primary diseases. As a benzodiazepine it also may be considered for behavior problems and anxiety disorders in animals, but it has not been used as commonly as other drugs.
