5 Pharmacological Properties
5.1 Pharmacodynamic Properties
Mechanism of action.
APO-Temazepam hastens the onset of sleep and increases total sleeping time in short term use.
The exact mechanism of action of benzodiazepines has not yet been elucidated; however, benzodiazepines appear to work through several mechanisms. Benzodiazepines presumably exert their effects by binding to specific receptors at several sites within the central nervous system either by potentiating the effects of synaptic or pre-synaptic inhibition mediated by gamma-aminobutyric acid or by directly affecting the action potential generating mechanisms.

5.2 Pharmacokinetic Properties
Absorption.
Pharmacokinetic studies have shown that APO-Temazepam is well absorbed and has a relatively short elimination half-life of approximately 10 hours (range 5-15 hours).
Peak plasma levels of the drug occur 30 to 120 minutes after administration of the tablets.
Metabolism and excretion.
With multiple dosing, steady state is obtained by the third day, and there is little or no accumulation of parent drug or metabolites.
APO-Temazepam is metabolised principally in the liver where most drug is directly conjugated to the glucuronide and excreted in the urine. Some drug is demethylated to oxazepam and eliminated as the glucuronide. The glucuronides of APO-Temazepam have no demonstrable CNS activity. Following a single oral dose, 80% of the dose appears in the urine, mostly as the conjugates, and 12% of the dose appears in the faeces.
Less than 2% of the dose is excreted unchanged in the urine. Approximately 96% of unchanged drug is bound to plasma proteins. Buy Alodorm 5mg Australia – Buy Nitrazepam 5mg Australia – Alodorm 5mg for sale
