Details About: Halcion Triazolam
Halcion Triazolam is a sleeping pill for the short-term treatment of insomnia for up to two weeks. The drug belongs to the benzodiazepine produced, so it has a complex effect on the nervous system.

Pharmacologic properties
Halcion Triazolam 1.25mg stimulates benzodiazepine receptors and increases sensitivity to the mediator GABA receptor. As a result, the patient falls asleep faster and does not wake up at night, and sleeps longer. The medication doesn’t affect the duration of the REM sleep phase. On average, it takes from 10 to 30 minutes to fall asleep, and prolonged restless sleep is increased to at least 7 hours.
Halcion Triazolam half-life
The drug is characterized by rapid elimination from the body. The half-life elimination period is from 1.5 to 5.5 hours, which avoids the effect of drowsiness after waking up and during the day.
Halcion Triazolam for sleep
The drug is suitable for the treatment of temporary insomnia that has occurred due to a sudden disturbance in the normal daily routine. It’s not effective if insomnia is accompanied by anxiety during the day. Prolonged use of the drug is not justified due to a decrease in efficacy after the first two weeks of use. Discontinuation of the drug causes insomnia when falling asleep the first night after stopping treatment.
