What is Halcion?

Halcion is a prescription drug used as short-term relief for insomnia. Insomnia should not be treated long-term by Halcion. Chronic insomnia may be due to an undiagnosed cause and treatment with Halcion will mask this cause.

Halcion is a controlled substance and belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines, which have a sedating effect by enhancing a critical chemical that slows activity in the brain. The dosage will depend on the nature and severity of the insomnia symptoms. Halcion should be prescribed at the lowest effective dose and for the shortest period of time possible. Before taking Halcion, tell your doctor about your  medical conditions and history. Tell your doctor about any medications you take, including prescription and OTC drugs, as well as vitamins and supplements. Certain medications or substances (such as opioid pain medicines, muscle relaxants, other anxiety or sleep medications, or alcohol) can interact with Halcion and should not be combined, due to the possibility of serious side effects which could include loss of consciousness, slowed or stopped breathing, coma, and death. Misuse of Halcion can cause addiction, overdose, or death. Keep Halcion where no one else can get to it. Keep securely out of reach and out of sight of children and pets.
