Flurazepam is a long-acting benzodiazepine used as a hypnotic for the treatment of insomnia. It acts as a positive allosteric modulator of GABA-A receptors, enhancing inhibitory neurotransmission. While once widely used for insomnia, its use today is limited due to risks of dependence, next-day sedation, and the availability of safer alternatives.
