Prescribed two .25mg 10X10 pills to take prior to a bone scan. Was unable to get through bone scan before (panic type attack) My question is--is this dosage considerd safe? ## According to Walgreens Pharmacy, they state; "DO NOT take 2 doses at once" in their guidelines for how to take this medication. Referenced from: That said, I wouldn't consider it to be safe, being that 0.5mg is maximum recommended dose (that you had in one sitting). Additional patient guidelines note: "Triazolam is indicated for short term use only (7 to 10 days). The maximum recommended dose is 0.5 mg." Do you have any other questions or concerns about this medication?

i am interested to know where to acquire triazolam 0.25mg greenstone here in the Philippines.. ## Sorry, as I myself have found, Greenstone products are available purely in the USA. There is not a single online source for them. They are made by Pfizer/Upjohn, and the G 3718 tablet you seek is IDENTICAL to the Upjohn 17 Halcion brand, which is not difficult to find. I source mine from South Africa, much cheaper than most countries. A box of 100 should cost you around US $120. Very reasonable. Their alprazolam, coded G 3721 (1mg) & 3722 (2mg long white bars) are likewise identical to Upjohn 90 & 94 tablets. The advantage of Greenstone is in the price paid in the USA. There are places where the original Halcion and Xanax brands of the very highest quality are a lot less expensive t...

Can someone tell me about this drug and what it does? ## See Halcion. It is mainly used as a sedative sleeping pill, for insomnia but also has some anti-depressant and muscle relaxant properties, as well as other uses, I think. I also think it is called a benzodiazapam. ## Ah...

I've got a prescription forTriazolam 0.25 mugs, then underneath the list sentence, it states 4(four) What Doe the 4 mean? ## Take 4 Mugs a day I would think? Also be aware that Triazolam is NOT Xanax. ## Hello, Nichole! How are you? It could be the number of refills, or that you are meant to take it 4 times a day, it's hard to be sure without knowing the context. However, your pharmacist should know, when you have it filled, and they can contact your doctor to check, if they aren't sure. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. And that you, again, Eddy! Is there anything else I can help with?

I have a blue elliptical pill that is scored down the middle with the imprint 0.25 on one side of the score. The package they came in was from a triazolam push pack. I have scoured the net and cannot find halcyon without some other imprint. Anyone know what this is?

Is it safe to take a halcion if it's been expired for 20 years? ## Hello, Michelle! How are you? No, any medication that is that old should be disposed of, medications lose efficacy over time, because they degrade and there is a chance that one that is this old could make you ill, if you take it. The FDA lists Halcion as containing Triazolam, which is a benzodiazepine. They are most commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. They carry the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?
