Hi thanks for asking question.
I can understand your concern.
You have not mentioned the reason why your sister taking it.
it is sedative drug.
Is she taking it for sleep?
By the way this drug can be stopped with no dependence of it.
So better to immediately stop it.
For sleep induction it should not be taken.
The safer and nondependence producing drug available like zolpidem.
I hope i solved your query.
thanks .dont worry.
