Clomethiazole, also known as chlormethiazole, is a sedative-hypnotic drug primarily used in the management of acute alcohol withdrawal, agitation, and in some cases, as a treatment for insomnia in the elderly. It has anticonvulsant, sedative, and anxiolytic properties. While used in some European countries, it is not approved in the United States, and its use is generally restricted due to potential for respiratory depression and dependence.
