Loprazolam

Loprazolam is a short-acting benzodiazepine with anxiolytic, hypnotic, and muscle-relaxant properties. It acts by enhancing GABAergic inhibition in the central nervous system. The substance is primarily used for the treatment of sleep disorders and anxiety states. Due to its potential for dependence, it should only be used short-term.
