Temazepam is sold under which brand name?

Temazepam is a benzodiazepine hypnotic used for short-term treatment of insomnia. In the United States, it is sold under the brand name Restoril. Brand names are the marketed names for specific generic drugs, so Restoril specifically refers to temazepam. For contrast, Ambien is zolpidem, Provigil is modafinil, and Xyrem is sodium oxybate, each a different sleep medication. Knowing these mappings helps you recognize which brand pairs with which generic drug.
