Indications & Clinical Uses

Brotizolam is a benzodiazepine sedative‑hypnotic that acts on the central nervous system to treat sleep disorders.

  • Insomnia (sleep onset): helps patients fall asleep more quickly.
  • Insomnia (sleep maintenance): reduces nighttime awakenings and improves sleep continuity.
  • Short‑term insomnia treatment: provides relief for acute sleep disturbances, typically limited to a few weeks of therapy.

How It Works

  • Brotizolam binds to the benzodiazepine site on the GABA‑A receptor complex, acting as a positive allosteric modulator. This enhances the inhibitory effect of the neurotransmitter GABA, increasing chloride ion influx, hyperpolarizing neuronal membranes, and producing a sedative‑hypnotic effect that facilitates sleep initiation and maintenance.

Side Effects

Brotizolam may cause a range of adverse reactions, which are categorized by frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects

  • Drowsiness: feeling sleepy during the day.
  • Dizziness: light‑headedness or imbalance.
  • Dry mouth: reduced salivation.
  • Fatigue: decreased energy.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Respiratory depression: slowed breathing that may be life‑threatening.
  • Severe allergic reaction: rash, swelling, or breathing difficulty.
  • Dependence and withdrawal: risk of physical dependence with abrupt stop.
  • Paradoxical agitation: increased anxiety or aggression.

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Lendormin, consider the following safety measures.

  • Medical supervision: use only under a prescriber's direction.
  • Alcohol avoidance: do not consume alcoholic beverages while taking the drug.
  • Elderly caution: start with the lowest effective dose due to increased sensitivity.
  • Duration limit: limit therapy to short‑term periods, generally not exceeding 4 weeks.
  • Hepatic/renal assessment: evaluate liver and kidney function before initiating treatment.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep tablets in the original container, protect from moisture and light.

Avoid Interactions

Brotizolam can interact with other medicines; some combinations should be avoided while others require monitoring.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Alcohol and other CNS depressants: may cause profound sedation and respiratory depression.
  • Opioids: combined use can enhance central nervous system depression.
  • CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole): increase Brotizolam plasma levels.
  • Other benzodiazepines: additive sedative effects.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampicin, carbamazepine): may reduce effectiveness.
  • Antihistamines: can increase drowsiness.
  • Certain antidepressants (e.g., fluoxetine): may modestly raise drug concentrations.
  • NSAIDs: may increase risk of gastrointestinal bleeding when combined with sedatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lendormin contains the benzodiazepine Brotizolam and is indicated for the short‑term treatment of insomnia in adult patients. It helps both with difficulty falling asleep (sleep onset) and with maintaining sleep throughout the night, providing a pharmacologic option when non‑pharmacologic measures are insufficient.

Brotizolam binds to the benzodiazepine site on the GABA‑A receptor complex, acting as a positive allosteric modulator. By enhancing the inhibitory action of GABA, it increases chloride ion flow into neurons, producing a calming effect that facilitates the initiation and maintenance of sleep.

The dose of Lendormin is individualized by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, severity of insomnia, and overall health status. The prescriber will determine the appropriate strength, timing, and duration of therapy, and patients should follow that specific instruction without deviation.

Safety data for Brotizolam in pregnancy and lactation are limited, and the drug is generally classified as contraindicated or to be avoided unless the potential benefit outweighs the risk. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should discuss alternative sleep‑management strategies with their clinician.

To request Lendormin, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements), and the necessary import documentation.

Lendormin (Brotizolam) belongs to the benzodiazepine class, offering rapid onset and a relatively short half‑life compared with some longer‑acting benzodiazepines. Compared with non‑benzodiazepine hypnotics such as zolpidem, Brotizolam may have a higher risk of dependence but can be useful when a clinician prefers the benzodiazepine profile for certain patients.

Lendormin tablets should be stored at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in the original blister or container. Protect them from moisture, direct sunlight, and excessive heat. Keep the product out of reach of children and do not use after the expiration date printed on the packaging.

Lendormin is taken orally as a tablet. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water, preferably shortly before bedtime. Patients should avoid crushing or chewing the tablet, and they should not take it with a prolonged period of wakefulness to reduce the risk of next‑day sedation.

The most serious risks include the potential for respiratory depression, especially when combined with other central nervous system depressants, and the development of physical dependence or withdrawal syndrome after prolonged use. Paradoxical reactions such as agitation, aggression, or severe allergic responses may also occur and require immediate medical attention.

Lendormin is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to Brotizolam or other benzodiazepines, severe respiratory insufficiency (e.g., COPD with CO₂ retention), myasthenia gravis, severe hepatic impairment, and in patients with a history of substance dependence. It should also be avoided in pregnant or nursing women unless clearly indicated by a physician.
