Dichloralphenazone is a 1:2 mixture ofantipyrine withchloral hydrate. In combination withparacetamol andisometheptene, it is the active ingredient of medications for migraine and tension headaches, includingEpidrin andMidrin. Performance impairments are common with this drug and caution is advised, for example when driving motor vehicles. Additional uses of dichloralphenazone include sedation for the treatment of short-terminsomnia, although there are probably better drug choices for the treatment of insomnia.[1]
