    Temazepam (Euhypnos) as a hypnotic: a twelve-week trial in general practice.

    The Journal of international medical research·1977

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • General Practice Medicine

    Background:

    • Insomnia is a common condition requiring effective and well-tolerated hypnotic medications.
    • General practice settings necessitate practical and safe treatment options for sleep disorders.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of temazepam (Euhypnos) soft gelatine capsules as a hypnotic agent.
    • To assess patient satisfaction and comparison with previous hypnotic treatments in a general practice setting.

    Main Methods:

    • A one-week study involving 236 patients in a general practice setting.
    • Administration of soft gelatine capsules containing 10 mg temazepam (Euhypnos) with doses ranging from 10-30 mg.
    • Evaluation of tolerability, patient satisfaction, hangover effects, and comparison with prior hypnotic medications.

    Main Results:

    • Temazepam (Euhypnos) doses of 10-30 mg were generally well tolerated by patients.
    • Satisfactory performance was reported by 76% of the patients.
    • Seventy-two percent of patients experienced no hangover effect, and 72% rated Euhypnos as effective as or superior to their previous hypnotics.

    Conclusions:

    • Temazepam (Euhypnos) soft gelatine capsules are a well-tolerated and effective hypnotic option in general practice.
    • The medication demonstrates a favorable side effect profile, particularly regarding hangover effects.
    • Patient-reported outcomes suggest high satisfaction and comparable or improved efficacy versus prior treatments.
