flurazepam

A benzodiazepine derivative used mainly as a hypnotic. PubChem (source: Drug Bank)

For short-term and intermittent use in patients with recurring insomnia and poor sleeping habits (source: Drug Bank)

Benzodiazepines bind nonspecifically to bezodiazepine receptors BNZ1, which mediates sleep, and BNZ2, which affects affects muscle relaxation, anticonvulsant activity, motor coordination, and memory. As benzodiazepine receptors are thought to be coupled to gamma-aminobutyric acid-A (GABAA) receptors, this enhances the effects of GABA by increasing GABA affinity for the GABA receptor. Binding of GABA to the site opens the chloride channel, resulting in a hyperpolarized cell membrane that prevents further excitation of the cell. (source: Drug Bank)

Flurazepam, a benzodiazepine derivative, is a hypnotic agent which does not appear to decrease dream time as measured by rapid eye movements (REM). Furthermore, it decreases sleep latency and number of awakenings for a consequent increase in total sleep time. (source: Drug Bank)

Avoid alcohol.
Take without regard to meals. (source: Drug Bank)

Flurazepam is rapidly metabolized and is excreted primarily in the urine. Both hydroxyethyl flurazepam (the major metabolite) and N-desalkyl flurazepam are active. The N-desalkyl metabolite is slowly excreted in the urine as the conjugated form (source: Drug Bank)

Flurazepam hydrochloride is rapidly (30 minutes) absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract (source: Drug Bank)
