Tetrazepam is a benzodiazepine site agonist and binds unselectively to type 1 and type 2 benzodiazepine site types as well as to peripheral benzodiazepine receptors. The muscle relaxant properties of tetrazepam are most likely due to a reduction of calcium influx. Small amounts of diazepam as well as the active metabolites of diazepam are produced from metabolism of tetrazepam.
Tetrazepam is a benzodiazepine that acts on both type 1 and type 2 benzodiazepine sites, as well as peripheral benzodiazepine receptors. Its muscle relaxant effects are likely due to calcium influx reduction.  Diazepam and its metabolites are formed from the breakdown of tetrazepam.
