Studies in general practice with brotizolam.
Brotizolam (0.25 mg) was compared with placebo, and in a separate study, with nitrazepam (5.0 mg) in patients being treated for insomnia in general practice. Brotizolam (0.25 mg) and nitrazepam (5.0 mg) were equally effective and there was no evidence of residual effects the next day with either drug.
