  • Title: [Pharmacotherapy of sleep disorders using benzodiazepine hypnotics and their analogs].
    Author: Borbély AA.
    Journal: Praxis (Bern 1994); 1995 Jun 13; 84(24):722-5. PubMed ID: 7792469.
    Abstract:
    Benzodiazepine hypnotics and analogs promote the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA in the brain. The individual substances of this class differ mainly with respect to their elimination half-life. They are all effective hypnotics, but exhibit a number of undesired effects. Hypnotics should be administered generally for the short-term treatment of insomnia, and they should be prescribed for a prolonged time period only exceptionally.
