Trilam Tablets 0.125 mg (Triazolam)

Adult dose

This medicine should be administered for a short period (usually 7-10 days), and the treatment period should not exceed 2-3 weeks. To achieve the maximum effect and avoid serious adverse reactions, it is advisable to individualize the dose and administer the minimum effective dose. Take care not to increase the prescribed dose. If the dose must be increased because there is no response at a low dose, adverse reactions may occur in a dose-dependent manner; therefore, administer cautiously while closely observing the patient. Depending on the patient, administer triazolam 0.125 ~ 0.25 mg orally before bedtime. Doses exceeding 0.25 mg are not recommended because adverse reactions increase in a dose-dependent manner. The initial dose is triazolam 0.125 mg. If there is no response at a low dose, 0.25㎎ may be administered, but do not exceed 0.25 mg. The risk of dependence may increase with the dose and duration of treatment. Therefore, administer the lowest appropriate dose for the shortest possible period, and frequently reassess the need for continued treatment. Abrupt discontinuation or rapid dose reduction after continued administration of this medicine may cause withdrawal reactions that can be life-threatening. To reduce the risk of withdrawal reactions, discontinue or reduce the dose of this medicine by gradual tapering (see section ‘1. Warnings’ under Precautions for Use). If withdrawal reactions occur, consider temporarily stopping the taper or increasing the dose to the previous dose. The dose should then be reduced more slowly.

This medication can induce sleep, so it may impair the ability to drive or perform other complex tasks while not fully awake. Such actions can be very dangerous as the individual may not recall them. This risk is higher when taken with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants. If such symptoms occur, it is necessary to consult a doctor immediately and discontinue use. Additionally, this medication can rarely cause serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. If symptoms such as swelling of the tongue, vocal cords, or larynx, difficulty breathing, or vomiting occur, immediate emergency treatment is required, and this medication should not be taken again if such symptoms arise. Long-term use of this medication may increase daytime anxiety, which can be withdrawal symptoms when the medication is suddenly discontinued. In such cases, it is recommended to consult a doctor before stopping the medication. This medication can suppress the central nervous system, causing drowsiness, dizziness, memory issues, etc., so activities requiring concentration, such as driving or operating machinery, should be avoided while taking it. Caution is particularly needed for the elderly or weak patients who are at a higher risk of falls. Taking it alongside opioids can enhance sedative effects, leading to respiratory depression or coma; therefore, it should only be taken in minimal doses under a doctor's instruction when absolutely necessary. This medication carries risks of misuse and dependency, so it must be used strictly according to a doctor's prescription and guidance. Moreover, it should be stored safely, and any remaining medication should be disposed of properly. Suddenly stopping the medication can cause severe withdrawal symptoms, so dosage should be reduced gradually according to a doctor's instructions. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, breastfeeding women, patients with acute angle-closure glaucoma, and those with drug or alcohol dependence should not take this medication. Additionally, patients with impaired liver or kidney function, the elderly, or those with heart or lung diseases require special caution when taking this medication. This medication can interact with other drugs, so it's critical to inform the doctor about any current medications or alcohol consumption, especially when taking certain antibiotics, antifungals, antidepressants, or sedatives. Finally, this medication is not recommended for children as its safety and efficacy have not been established.
