Nitrazepam is a type of benzodiazepine drug and is marketed in English-speaking countries under the following brand names: Alodorm, Arem, Insoma, Mogadon, Nitrados, Nitrazadon, Ormodon, Paxadorm, Remnos and Somnite. It is a hypnotic drug with sedative and motor impairing properties, anxiolytic, amnestic, anticonvulsant and skeletal muscle relaxant properties. Nitrazepam is available in 5mg and 10mg tablets. In the Netherlands, Australia, Israel and the United Kingdom it is only available in 5mg tablets. The Dutch, British and French system called the System of Objectified Judgement Analysis for assessing whether drugs should be included in drug formularies based on clinical efficacy, adverse effects, pharmacokinetic properties, toxicity and drug interactions was used to assess nitrazepam. A Dutch analysis using the system found that nitrazepam is unsuitable to be included in drug prescribing formularies.
