His half-life of 7 to 8 hours in healthy adults, it may have advantages over benzodiazepines of short and longer-acting hypnotics. Although Loprazolam has been shown to have anti-anxiety, anticonvulsant and muscle relaxant effects, a longer acting benzodiazepine may be more appropriate when this prolonged effects is desired. Loprazolam would appear how a effective hypnotic with minimal side effects, which come to cover a place between the benzodiazepines with short and long half-life.
