Abstract
There are many difficulties in evaluating the efficacy of anxiolytic drugs, but their widespread and increasing clinical use confirms their effectiveness. The benzodiazepines, the most popular agents, offer certain advantages over the others. This article summarises the chemical properties and clinical effects of the benzodiazepines, and propose guidelines for the rational use of these agents in clinical practice.
