Nortetrazepam

Nortetrazepam is a benzodiazepine derivative. It is a metabolite of flunitrazepam. Nortetrazepam is rarely used as a drug in its own right; it is rather found in the body following administration of flunitrazepam. It has similar effects to other benzodiazepines but is not as potent and has a longer half-life.

Pharmacology

Nortetrazepam is a benzodiazepine and a metabolite of flunitrazepam. It acts by binding to the GABA receptor, increasing the effect of the neurotransmitter GABA. This results in sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, and muscle relaxant effects.

Medical uses

Nortetrazepam is not typically used as a drug in its own right. It is found in the body following administration of flunitrazepam, a potent benzodiazepine used for the treatment of insomnia and anxiety disorders.

Side effects

Like other benzodiazepines, nortetrazepam can cause a range of side effects. These can include drowsiness, confusion, and impaired coordination. Long-term use can lead to dependence and withdrawal symptoms on cessation of use.
