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.
Estimated pharmacokinetic parameters for orally administered triclofos, assuming use in pediatric population based on typical clinical protocols. No primary literature reporting human PK values found.
