oxazepam : A 1,4-benzodiazepinone that is 1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one substituted by a chloro group at position 7, a hydroxy group at position 3 and phenyl group at position 5.

Chorea: Involuntary, forcible, rapid, jerky movements that may be subtle or become confluent, markedly altering normal patterns of movement. Hypotonia and pendular reflexes are often associated.

Chorea is also a frequent manifestation of BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES.

" Our findings confirm that FPDC is responsive to benzodiazepine therapy and suggest that an alternate-day dosing schedule, using a short-acting benzodiazepine, may minimize receptor down regulation and thereby sustain the therapeutic effect."1.27Familial paroxysmal dystonic choreoathetosis and response to alternate-day oxazepam therapy.
