Description
Flurazepam, marketed under the brand name Dalmane, is a benzodiazepine medication used primarily for the short-term treatment of insomnia. It works by enhancing the activity of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a natural chemical that helps calm the brain and nervous system. By doing so, Flurazepam promotes relaxation, helps users fall asleep faster, and ensures more restful, uninterrupted sleep.
Uses of Flurazepam (Dalmane)
Flurazepam is commonly prescribed for:
Insomnia – improves sleep onset and duration for individuals with sleep difficulties.
Sleep maintenance – reduces nighttime awakenings and early morning awakenings.
Anxiety-related sleep disturbances – occasionally used off-label to manage anxiety that interferes with sleep.
This medication is intended for short-term use only, as prolonged treatment may lead to dependence or tolerance.
Flurazepam Dosage
The usual adult dosage ranges from 15 mg to 30 mg, taken once at bedtime. Take only when the patient can devote 7–8 hours to sleep. Use the lowest effective dose , especially for older adults. Do not combine Flurazepam with alcohol or other sedatives.
