[Therapeutic effect and pharmacokinetics of transdermal phenazepam preparation in patients with different anxiety disorders].

It is shown that the specific action of phenapercuten is related to features of the pharmacokinetic profile of this transdermal drug that is characterized by a low levels of active compound in the blood plasma and by the absence of peak concentrations. TTS Phenapercuten was most effective in patients with anxiety disorders of simple structure.
