Metaclazepam (marketed under the brand name Talis) is a drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative.[1][2] It is a relatively selective anxiolytic with less sedative or muscle relaxant properties than other benzodiazepines such as diazepam or bromazepam.[3] It has an active metabolite N-desmethylmetaclazepam, which is the main metabolite of metaclazepam.[4] There is no significant difference in metabolism between younger and older individuals.[5]

Metaclazepam is slightly more effective as an anxiolytic than bromazepam,[6] or diazepam,[7] with a 15 mg dose of metaclazepam equivalent to 4 mg of bromazepam.[8] Metaclazepam can interact with alcohol producing additive sedative-hypnotic effects.[9][10] Fatigue is a common side effect from metaclazepam at high doses.[11] Small amounts of metaclazepam as well as its metabolites enter into human breast milk.[12]
