Flunitrazepam
Flunitrazepam is a benzodiazepine-class active pharmaceutical ingredient widely used for the short-term management of severe insomnia and as a sedative for procedural or preoperative use. By enhancing the effect of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, Flunitrazepam produces sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, and muscle relaxant effects. Its rapid onset and high potency make it particularly effective in patients experiencing difficulty with sleep initiation or requiring strong sedation. Pharmaceutical companies formulate Flunitrazepam into oral tablets, providing effective and controlled therapy for short-term clinical use.

- Severe Insomnia – Promotes sleep onset and improves sleep quality in patients with acute sleep disturbances.
- Short-Term Hypnotic Therapy – Used for transient or situational insomnia.
- Preoperative Sedation – Provides calming and sedative effects prior to medical procedures.
