Flurazepam Hydrochloride is a medication used to treat insomnia, anxiety and depression. This compound is also known by the following synonyms: Rohypnol, flunox, flurazinil, dalmane, and somit. These names are interchangeable with each other and are used to refer to the same drug. Flurazepam Hydrochloride is a benzodiazepine and exerts its action by increasing the levels of neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. This results in sedative, anxiolytic and anticonvulsant effects. Although it is a useful medication, it can also cause side effects such as drowsiness, headache, dizziness, and memory impairment. It is therefore important to take Flurazepam Hydrochloride only as directed by a healthcare professional.
