Benzoctamine (Tacitin), a psychotropic drug, known to exert in man an anti-anxiety effect. Its action also was studied when given as a hypnotic or sedative in patients with respiratory failure. Benzoctamine decreases 5-HT turnover in the brain and this action may play a role in the anti-anxiety effect of the drug.
