Fosazepam is of relatively low potency compared to other benzodiazepine derivatives, with a 100mg dose of fosazepam equivalent to 10mg of nitrazepam. Fosazepam has similar effects to nitrazepam, but with a shorter duration of action and less tendency to cause over sedation, motor-impairment, amnesia, rebound insomnia, and morning grogginess.
