Nimetazepam is a benzodiazepine derivative with hypnotic, sedative, and anxiolytic effects, originally used for the short-term management of severe insomnia and sometimes as an anxiolytic. It is considered a potent hypnotic, but is not approved for medical use in many countries today due to its potential for dependence and abuse.
