Triclofos is a sedative drug used rarely for treating insomnia.[1]
Triclofos is a prodrug which is metabolised in the liver into the active drug trichloroethanol. The half-life of triclofos is fairly long and it may cause drowsiness the next day. Trichloroethanol may cause liver damage and triclofos should not be used for extended periods.
Triclofos is no longer available in the United States.[2]
