Psycholeptics

• Temazepam is a sedative hypnotic. It belongs to the class of 1-4 benzodiazepines and has a pharmacodynamic activity qualitatively similar to that of other compounds in this class: muscle relaxant, anxiolytic, sedative, hypnotic, anticonvulsant, amnesic.
• Its effects are related to a specific agonist action on a central receptor that is part of the "macromolecular GABA-OMEGA receptors" complex, also called BZD1 and BZD2, and modulates the opening of the chlorine channel.
