What is the only approved indication of Flurazepam?

Flurazepam is primarily approved for the treatment of insomnia. It belongs to the class of medications known as benzodiazepines, which are commonly prescribed for sleep disorders. Its effectiveness lies in its ability to help patients fall asleep faster and maintain sleep throughout the night, making it specifically indicated for insomnia.

To clarify why the other options are not correct: while benzodiazepines can have anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) effects, Flurazepam is not specifically indicated for anxiety, depression, or panic disorders. Medications are often tailored to specific conditions based on their pharmacological effects and clinical evidence supporting their use for those conditions. In the case of Flurazepam, extensive studies have established its role for insomnia rather than an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, or panic disorders. Therefore, its only approved use remains focused on managing sleep issues.
