A benzodiazepine medication prescribed for the short-term treatment of insomnia, helping patients fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer by enhancing the activity of GABA, a calming brain chemical. Due to its long half-life, it may cause next-day drowsiness and impair coordination. It carries a risk of dependence and is not recommended for long-term use.

Wirkmechanismus
Enhances the effect of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at GABA-A receptors by binding to an allosteric site and increasing the frequency of chloride ion channel opening. This produces anxiolytic, sedative, hypnotic, and anticonvulsant effects.
