Let’s go to Sleep

Insomnia (insomnia) can be considered as one of the most common clinical syndromes, along with headache and back pain. it occurs in half of the world's population.

Traditionally, in our country for the treatment of insomnia from all prescription drugs prescribe benzodiazepine derivatives (brotizolam, midazolam, triazolam, nitrazepam, oxazepam, temazepam, phenazepam). The combined preparation Reladorm is widely used. However, with long-term use of benzodiazepine drugs as hypnotics, their negative effects come to the fore: the development of addiction (the need for increasing the dose), the dependence (the emergence of withdrawal symptoms on the background of withdrawal), the behavioral toxicity (memory loss, attention, coordination deterioration), daytime sleepiness . If suspected of having sleep apnea syndrome (in patients with snoring), benzodiazepine hypnotics are contraindicated.

In clinical practice, non-benzodiazepine hypnotics are also used: cyclopyrrolone derivatives (zopiclone), imidazopyridine (zolpidem), pyrozolopyrimidine (zaleplon). The minimal affinity for the subtypes of the benzodiazepine GABA-receptor complex, which are responsible for the development of side effects of drugs of the previous generation (benzodiazepines), provides a high safety profile. However, the use of these hypnotic drugs is also not possible in the presence of sleep apnea syndrome. This category of patients is prescribed, for example, an antagonist of H1-histamine receptors - doxylamine.
