Temazepam Medicine (Sleeping Pills)
Temazepam is a medication classified as a benzodiazepine and is primarily indicated for the treatment of short-term or transient insomnia, which is defined by difficulties in initiating sleep or recurrent awakenings during the night. It functions as a central nervous system depressant, effectively decreasing brain activity to facilitate relaxation and promote sleep. The medication is formulated in capsule form, with available strengths of 7.5 mg, 15 mg, 22.5 mg, and 30 mg. It exhibits a rapid onset of effects, typically manifesting within 30 to 60 minutes, with a duration of action lasting between 6 to 8 hours. Temazepam is intended for short-term administration, generally ranging from 7 to 10 days. Its primary applications encompass the management of transient insomnia related to stress, travel, or other temporary disruptions, as well as addressing challenges in falling asleep and frequent nighttime awakenings. Although primarily indicated for insomnia, it may also be utilized for conditions such as anxiety or seizures. Caution is advised when using Temazepam, given the potential for various side effects and associated risks.
