Meprobamate, a bis-carbamate ester, was introduced in 1955 for
the treatment of anxiety and was subsequently used as a sedative-hypnotic drug.
Psychological and physical dependence can occur and abuse has been reported.
Meprobamate is controlled under Schedule IV of the 1971 Convention on
Psychotropic Substances.
