Description:  Nitrazepam is a sedative used to treat insomnia. Nitrazepam is in the group of drugs known as benzodiazepines, a class of antidepressants, anti-panic agents, and muscle relaxants. Nitrazepam is usually used as a short term treatment for temporary insomnia, but if used daily, it will become ineffective in a few weeks. This medication has some anticonvulsant properties, but US prescribing guidelines are unavailable for this use. Benzodiazepines ((ben-zoe-dye-AZ-e-peens)) belong to the group of medicines called central nervous system (CNS) depressants (medicines that slow down the nervous system).
