Elfazepam[1] is a drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative.[2] Presumably it has sedative and anxiolytic actions like those of other benzodiazepines.

Orexigenic properties in animals.[3][4] The mechanism for increasing feed intake is not clear and has been subject of investigation.[5] It has been found that elfazepam suppresses gastric acid secretion.[6]
