Restoril 30 mg (generic name: temazepam 30 mg) is a benzodiazepine medication primarily used to treat insomnia (difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep). The 30 mg dose is considered a higher dose, typically prescribed when lower doses (like 15 mg) are not effective in managing sleep issues.
How Restoril 30 mg Works:
Restoril works by enhancing the activity of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a neurotransmitter in the brain that helps inhibit or calm down nerve activity. By increasing the effects of GABA, Restoril helps induce relaxation, reduce anxiety, and promote sleep. It is a sedative-hypnotic medication, meaning it induces sleep and helps the individual stay asleep throughout the night.
