Triclofos is a sedative and hypnotic drug, historically used as a sleep-inducing agent, particularly in pediatrics for sedation. It is a prodrug of trichloroethanol, which is the active metabolite responsible for its pharmacological effect. It is rarely used in contemporary medical practice and is largely replaced by safer alternatives.
