Lormetazepam is a short-to-intermediate acting benzodiazepine hypnotic used primarily for the short-term management of insomnia. It exerts its effect by enhancing the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at the GABAA receptor. Lormetazepam is approved in several European countries, but is not currently approved by the FDA in the United States.
Pharmacokinetics reported in healthy adult volunteers, both male and female, aged 20 to 40 years.
