Dalmane
Dalmane is a brand name for the drug Flurazepam, a type of benzodiazepine. It is primarily used for the treatment of insomnia and has a long half-life, which means it stays in the body for a long time.
Uses[edit | edit source]
Dalmane is used to treat insomnia, a sleep disorder that can cause a variety of health problems, including depression, anxiety, and heart disease. It works by slowing down the central nervous system, allowing the user to fall asleep more easily and stay asleep longer.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
Like all benzodiazepines, Dalmane can cause side effects. These can include drowsiness, dizziness, and confusion. In rare cases, it can cause more serious side effects like memory loss, hallucinations, and severe allergic reactions.
Precautions[edit | edit source]
Before taking Dalmane, it is important to tell your doctor if you have any other medical conditions, especially kidney disease, liver disease, or a history of substance abuse. It is also important to avoid alcohol while taking this medication, as it can increase the risk of side effects.
Interactions[edit | edit source]
Dalmane can interact with other medications, including other benzodiazepines, opioids, and certain antidepressants. It is important to tell your doctor about all the medications you are currently taking to avoid potential interactions.
Overdose[edit | edit source]
In case of an overdose, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Symptoms of an overdose can include extreme drowsiness, confusion, and loss of consciousness.
