Estazolam
Estazolam, sold under the brand name ProSom, is a benzodiazepine used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. It helps patients fall asleep and stay asleep by enhancing the effects of GABA (a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation). Estazolam is typically used for short-term relief of sleep disorders due to its potential for dependence.
