1. nitrazepam

   Nitrazepam is a type of medication belonging to the class of drugs known as benzodiazepines. It is used primarily for the treatment of sleeping disorders, such as insomnia, and certain types of seizures. Nitrazepam works on the central nervous system by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called GABA, which results in sedative, sleep-inducing and muscle relaxing effects. It is often prescribed for short-term use due to its potential for dependency and side effects.

Nitrazepam is not suitable for use in the elderly, children, pregnant women, or those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and should be used with caution in individuals with comorbid psychiatric disorders or those who are driving or operating machinery.
