Benzodiazepines are sedative-hypnotic drugs and they are widely used for anxiety, convulsions and muscle relaxation. The table below lists the various forms of the drug class. The latter has gained recent notoriety as a date-rape drug. Several of the commonly used benzodiazepines are metabolized in the body and eliminated in the urine as oxazepam. Long time chronic use may extend the urine detection time.
Prolonged use can lead to dependency.
The federal government does not mandate the cut-off levels.
