We investigated the withdrawal of temazepam in a single general practice using two alternative prescribing policies: an alternative benzodiazepine; or an alternative group of drugs recommended for short-term management of insomnia, including sedative antihistamines and chloral hydrate. The study showed that temazepam prescribing in general practice can be reduced or stopped by using a simple intervention. An alternative benzodiazepine is useful in helping patients to stop their use of hypnotic agents. The use of antihistamines as substitute hypnotics is not advocated on the basis of our findings.
一种是替代苯二氮䓬类药物；另一种是推荐用于短期治疗失眠的另一类药物，包括镇静性抗组胺药和水合氯醛。研究表明，通过简单的干预措施，可以减少或停止普通诊所中替马西泮的处方。替代苯二氮䓬类药物有助于帮助患者停止使用催眠药。根据我们的研究结果，不提倡使用抗组胺药作为替代催眠药。
