GABA receptor-positive allosteric modulators, encompassing benzodiazepines and barbiturates, are pivotal in addressing diverse medical conditions such as seizures, anxiety, alcohol withdrawal, sedation, and muscle spasms. This educational initiative is tailored for the multidisciplinary healthcare team caring for patients with these conditions. The program meticulously explores the indications, mechanisms of action, and contraindications of GABA-positive allosteric modulators, shedding light on their specific roles in seizure control, anxiolysis, alleviation of alcohol withdrawal symptoms, sedation induction, and mitigation of muscle spasms.Participants in this educational activity acquire an enhanced understanding of the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of GABA-positive allosteric modulators, encompassing potential off-label applications, dosing strategies, monitoring parameters, and pertinent drug interactions. The aim is to empower healthcare professionals with the knowledge required to make informed decisions, ensure judicious prescribing practices, and optimize patient care in the management of seizures, anxiety disorders, alcohol withdrawal, sedation, and muscle spasms, among other related conditions. The content provides an in-depth exploration of the mechanism of action and adverse event profile, facilitating the enhancement of clinical expertise in utilizing these medications.
