Extract

Amylobarbitone has been shown to be effective in the symptomatic treatment of neurotic anxiety in a number of controlled trials (Raymond et al, 1957; Scott, 1955; Robin, 1959), and can therefore be used as a standard of comparison in the treatment of anxiety states. It is here compared with diazepam (7-chloro-1,3-dihydro-1 -methyl-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one).
