Description
- Mechanism of Action: Belbien works by enhancing the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter in the brain that promotes relaxation and sleep. It binds to the benzodiazepine (BZD) receptors of the GABA receptor complex, leading to neuronal hyperpolarization and decreased neuronal excitability12.
- Usage: It is typically taken right before bedtime, with the recommended dose being 5 mg for women and 5 or 10 mg for men1. It’s important to ensure you have at least 7-8 hours available for sleep after taking it1.
- Effects: Belbien has a rapid onset of action, usually within 15 minutes, and a short duration of effect, making it effective for helping you fall asleep quickly3. It has strong sedative properties but minimal anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), myorelaxant (muscle-relaxing), and anticonvulsant effects1.
- Side Effects: Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, and decreased alertness. It can also cause changes in psychomotor function1.
- Precautions: It should be used with caution in individuals with liver or kidney disease, respiratory issues, or a history of substance abuse. It is not recommended for use in children under 18 years old,
