'''Cinolazepam''' ('''Gerodorm''') is a a short-acting [[psychoactive]] drug of the [[Chemical class::benzodiazepine]] class which produces hypnotic, anxiolytic, sedative, muscle relaxant, [[anticonvulsant]], and amnesic effects. Due to its strong sedative properties, it is primarily used as an hypnotic. | '''Cinolazepam''' ('''Gerodorm''') is a a short-acting [[psychoactive]] drug of the [[Chemical class::benzodiazepine]] class which produces hypnotic, anxiolytic, sedative, muscle relaxant, [[anticonvulsant]], and amnesic effects.<ref>A clinical and neurophysiological evaluation of clotiazepam, a new thienodiazepine derivative. | http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2885366</ref> Due to its strong sedative properties, it is primarily used as an hypnotic.<ref>Short-term sleep laboratory studies with cinolazepam in situational insomnia induced by traffic noise. | http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2889679</ref> | ||
Cinolazepam has an elimination half-life of approximately 9 hours, and is considered to be a short-acting benzodiazepine. It has a fast onset of action, with a peak blood level occurring 0.5 to 2 hours after oral administration. | Cinolazepam has an elimination half-life of approximately 9 hours, and is considered to be a short-acting benzodiazepine.
