(what is this?) |
Haloxazolam (marketed in Japan under the brand name Somelin), is a drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative.[1][2][3] It has similar hypnotic properties as the benzodiazepine drugs triazolam, temazepam, and flunitrazepam and as such is indicated for the treatment insomnia.[4] A study in cats comparing estazolam and haloxazolam found that haloxazolam only affects gamma motor neurons, whereas estazolam affects both alpha and gamma motor neurons.[5]
