Note: The evidence provided includes multiple references to "Triclofos" as a sedative medication used in medical procedures 2, 3, 4, 5, which appears to be a different medication from the Pedicloryl antihistamine syrup described in the FDA drug label 1. These are distinct pharmaceutical products with different indications and should not be confused.
