General Description

7-Chloro-5-cyclohexyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one, also known as flurazepam, is a synthetic chemical compound belonging to the benzodiazepine class of drugs. It is primarily used as a sedative and hypnotic medication for treating insomnia and other sleep disorders. Flurazepam works by enhancing the effects of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, leading to its sedative and calming effects. It is typically administered orally in the form of tablets and has a relatively long duration of action, making it suitable for treatment of chronic sleep disturbances. However, due to its potential for causing dependence and tolerance, flurazepam is generally recommended for short-term use. It may also cause side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, and impaired coordination, and carries a risk of overdose and withdrawal symptoms if misused. Overall, flurazepam is a potent central nervous system depressant that should be used with caution under medical supervision.
