Flurazepam hydrochloride is a medication belonging to the benzodiazepine class, primarily used for the treatment of insomnia. This ingredient helps to induce and maintain sleep, alleviating difficulties in falling asleep or frequent awakenings.

Flurazepam hydrochloride enhances the action of the neurotransmitter GABA in the brain, inhibiting neural activity. As a result, tension is relieved, and a calming effect occurs, making it easier to fall asleep.
