Definition och Betydelse av "temazepam"

What is "temazepam"?

Temazepam is a medication prescribed mainly for the short-term treatment of insomnia. It works by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter in the brain called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which has a calming effect on the central nervous system. Temazepam helps individuals fall asleep faster and improves sleep quality by reducing the time it takes to fall asleep and increasing total sleep duration. It is typically used for short periods due to the risk of reduced effectiveness, addiction, and withdrawal symptoms if used long-term. Side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, and problems with coordination.
