The clinical trials performed in support of efficacy were 2 weeks in duration with the final formal assessment of sleep latency performed at the end of treatment. Benzodiazepines may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. An increased risk of congenital malformations associated with the use of diazepam and chlordiazepoxide during the first trimester of pregnancy has been suggested in several studies. Transplacental distribution has resulted in neonatal CNS depression following the ingestion of therapeutic doses of a benzodiazepine hypnotic during the last weeks of pregnancy.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
PHARMACOKINETICS
In a single and multiple dose absorption, distribution, metabolism,
and excretion (ADME) study, using
H labeled drug, temazepam capsules were well absorbed and found to
have minimal (8%) first pass
metabolism. There were no active metabolites formed and the only
significant metabolite present in
blood was the O-conjugate. The unchanged drug was 96% bound to plasma
proteins. The blood level
decline of the parent drug was biphasic with the short half-life
ranging from 0.4 to 0.6 hours and the
terminal half-life from 3.5 to 18.4 hours (mean 8.8 hours), depending
on the study population and
method of determination. Metabolites were formed with a half-life of
10 hours and excreted with a half-
life of approximately 2 hours. Thus, formation of the major metabolite
is the rate li
