<unk>  is a "classical" benzodiazepine; some other classical benzodiazepines include diazepam, clonazepam, oxazepam, lorazepam, nitrazepam, bromazepam, and clorazepate.<unk>  generates an active metabolite, N-desalkylflurazepam, with a very long elimination half-life.<unk>  could be therefore unsuitable as a sleeping medication for some individuals due to next-day sedation; however, this same effect may also provide next-day anxiety relief. Residual 'hangover' effects after nighttime administration of<unk> , such as sleepiness, impaired psychomotor and cognitive functions, may persist into the next day, which may impair the ability of users to drive safely and increase risks of falls and hip fractures.<unk>  is lipophilic, is metabolized hepatically via oxidative pathways. The main pharmacological effect of<unk>  is to increase the effect of GABA at the GABAA receptor via binding to the benzodiazepine site on the GABAA receptor causing an increase influx of chloride ions into the GABAA neuron.<unk>  is contraindicated in pregnancy. It is recommended to withdraw<unk>  during breast feeding, as<unk>  is excreted in breast milk.
