Information About Chlordiazepoxide

Available as a 5mg–25mg oral capsule taken two to four times daily, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Due to its long half-life and active metabolites, it carries significant risk of accumulation and dependence — abrupt discontinuation after prolonged use must be avoided to prevent severe withdrawal including seizures.
