Pregnant women: Oxazepam is found in breast milk: better avoided.

Nursing mothers: Should not be given to children younger than 6 and only administered very cautiously to older children.

Children: Mind longer half-life and dose accordingly! Is tolerated better than other benzodiazepines by elderly subjects.

Elderly people: Probably no dose adjustment necessary.

Renal failure: Probably no dose adjustment necessary.

Liver insufficiency: Even though the metabolism of oxazepam is only marginally affected by liver diseases (only one glucuroniding step) the dose should be determined very cautiously.
