About Pedicalm Oral Solution

TRICLOFOS belongs to a class of drugs called 'sedative-hypnotics' primarily used in the short-term treatment of insomnia. Insomnia is a sleep disorder that causes difficulty in falling asleep or staying asleep. It may be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) due to various complications like stress, anxiety, and breathing problems.

TRICLOFOS works by increasing GABA activity, which is a chemical messenger in the brain acting as a natural nerve-calming agent, thereby inducing sleep. Thus, TRICLOFOS relaxes muscles, reduces anxiety, and helps falls asleep.

Medicinal Benefits of Pedicalm Oral Solution

TRICLOFOS is indicated for the treatment of insomnia. This medicine is also used to relieve nervousness before any medical procedure. After taking TRICLOFOS, it gets converted to 'Trichloroethanol' in the body that works on the brain and relaxes the body to produce good sleep. TRICLOFOS reduces the time taken to fall asleep and increases the length of deep sleep. This relaxing good night's sleep helps the body strengthen your immune system, restore energy, make new healthy cells, and promote the body's repair.
