What is triazolam used for?

Insomnia.: Triazolam is indicated for the short term treatment of insomnia. Because some patients can have amnesia for the time shortly after they take the medication, it is not as frequently used as it once was.

Dentistry Use: Triazolam is used routinely by many dentist for oral conscious sedation. The medication is very safe when used appropriately. One of the best "side-effect" i've noticed with my patients is they have amnesia so they don't remember the procedure. I posit the patients don't mind this too much. Make sure you ask your dentist if you have questions about medications and why they are using them.
