triazolam and Drug Overdose

triazolam has been researched along with Drug Overdose in 13 studies

Triazolam: A short-acting benzodiazepine used in the treatment of insomnia. Some countries temporarily withdrew triazolam from the market because of concerns about adverse reactions, mostly psychological, associated with higher dose ranges. Its use at lower doses with appropriate care and labeling has been reaffirmed by the FDA and most other countries.

Drug Overdose: Accidental or deliberate use of a medication or street drug in excess of normal dosage.
