In this case Deprol in dosage as high as 50 tablets daily (20 gm. meprobamate and 50 mg. benactyzine) proved efficacious in alcoholic withdrawal. The authors feel that Deprol in the hands of physicians experienced in its use may prove efficacious in areas where hitherto failures have been reported because of inadequate dosage.
