Common side effects include sleepiness, dizziness, and headache. Other side effects may include abuse, agitation, memory loss, suicide, and slurred speech. Use is not recommended during early pregnancy. Use is not generally recommended with opioids. It is believed to work via the GABA neurotransmitter.

Oxazepam was patented in 1962 and approved for medical use in 1964. It is available as a generic medication. In the United Kingdom 28 tablets of 15 mg costs the NHS about £6 as of 2021. In the United States this amount costs about 30 USD.
