Oxazepam: A benzodiazepine used in the treatment of anxiety, alcohol withdrawal, and insomnia.
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.

Dystonia: An attitude or posture due to the co-contraction of agonists and antagonist muscles in one region of the body. It most often affects the large axial muscles of the trunk and limb girdles. Conditions which feature persistent or recurrent episodes of dystonia as a primary manifestation of disease are referred to as DYSTONIC DISORDERS.

" 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.
