When and How to Take Flurazepam
General considerations for when and how to take the medication include the following:
- Flurazepam comes in capsule form. It is usually taken by mouth at bedtime.
- Take it just before you are ready to go to bed, as it can work rather quickly in some people.
- It can be taken with or without food. If the medication bothers your stomach, try taking it with food.
- For the medication to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. It may cause serious problems if you take it at higher dosages or for a longer period of time than your healthcare provider recommends (see Dalmane Abuse).
The dose of flurazepam that your healthcare provider recommends will vary, depending on a number of factors, including:
- Your age
- Other medications you may be taking
- Other medical conditions you may have.
As with any medication, do not adjust your dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.
