Flurazepam

Flurazepam is administered in the short term treatment of insomnia or any other sleeping problems. It belongs to the class of medicines known as sedative-hyptonics and works to produce a calming effect on the brain to help in inducing better sleep.

Flurazepam is a benzodiazepine derivative and works by binding to the benzodiazepine-gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-A-chloride ionophore receptor complex. This enhances the affinity of GABA to the GABA-A receptor site, causing an increased influx of calcium ions into the GABA-A neuron leading to hyperpolarisation and reduction of neuron excitability. This prevents the arousal of the cortical and limbic system, causing its sedative effects.

Consult your doctor before using this medicine and let the doctor know of any allergies you may have or if you are using antihistamine, medicines for anxiety, depression, seizures or any muscle relaxants. It should not be used if you drink large amounts of alcohol, are pregnant or breastfeeding or if you are above the age of 65.

Common side effects of the drug include drowsiness during the day, light-headedness, nervousness, irritability, ataxia and weakness. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any of the more rare but serious side effects such as sleepwalking, memory loss, mood or mental changes including hallucinations, agitation and aggressive behaviour or any allergic reactions.
