Effect of flutoprazepam on skills essential for driving motor vehicles.

The effects of the 1,4-benzodiazepine derivative flutoprazepam on the skills essential for driving motor vehicles were tested 2.5 h after intake of 1 x 2 mg and 1 x 4 mg, comparing with placebo. 18 healthy subjects who had homogeneous results in psychological/physical tests took part in the study. The study had a double-blind, randomized crossover design with 7-day washout periods. 2.5 h after intake of 4 mg flutoprazepam, the ability to drive was impaired. Only a very slight reduction in skill was found at the same time under the influence of 2 mg of the drug.
