Excerpt

Benzodiazepines act on the specific sites of GABA type A receptors (GABA_A) and produce hypnotic, myorelaxant, anxiolytic, and anticonvulsant effects. Benzodiazepines approved by the FDA for the treatment of insomnia in adults include temazepam, estazolam, quazepam, flurazepam, and triazolam. These medications vary mainly by elimination half-life, presence of active metabolite, and affinity for the benzodiazepine receptor subtype (Table 51–1).
