Halcion

Halcion, containing triazolam, is a benzodiazepine medication specifically indicated for the short-term treatment of insomnia. Known for its rapid onset of action, Halcion helps patients fall asleep quickly while reducing the likelihood of next-day sedation. It works by enhancing the effects of GABA, leading to a calming effect on the brain. Because of its potential for dependency and withdrawal symptoms, Halcion is recommended for short-term use only. Patients should be closely monitored for side effects, which may include drowsiness, confusion, and changes in mood.
