Essential insights

• Effect on the Central Nervous System (CNS): Zolazepam binds to GABA_A receptors, enhancing the action of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), leading to inhibitory effects on the CNS.
• Muscle relaxation and sedation: By reducing nerve transmission in the CNS, it provides muscle relaxation and a calming effect, allowing pain-free procedures.
• Selectivity: Zolazepam has a high safety profile and is specifically used in animals, often in combination with drugs like ketamine to minimize side effects.
