Flurazepam hydrochloride can be used effectively in patients with recurring insomnia or p.o. sleeping habits, and in acute or chronic medical situations requiring restful sleep. Sleep laboratory studies have objectively determined that flurazepam hydrochloride is effective for at least 28 consecutive nights of drug administration. Since insomnia is often transient and intermittent , short term use is usually sufficient. Prolonged use of hypnotics is usually not indicated and should only be undertaken concomitantly with appropriate evaluation of the patient. The usual adult dosage is 30 mg before retiring.
Federal law prohibits dispensing with-out prescription.
