Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Chlordiazepoxide is a benzodiazepine that binds itself to a Gamma-aminobutyric or GABA receptor present in the postsynaptic neuron and enhances its inhibitory action. The increased neuronal excitability of chloride ions results in hyperpolarisation of the neuronal membrane and stabilisation.
