Flurazepam

Flurazepam is a long-acting benzodiazepine primarily used as a hypnotic. It acts by enhancing GABAergic inhibition in the central nervous system, leading to sedating, anxiolytic, and muscle-relaxing effects. Due to its profile of action, it can lead to dependence and withdrawal symptoms, making controlled use important.
