Chloral betaine ( USAN, BAN) (brand names Beta-Chlor, Somilan), also known as cloral betaine ( INN), is a sedative- hypnotic drug. [1] [2] [3] [4] It was introduced by Mead Johnson in the United States in 1963. [5] It is a betaine complex of trimethylglycine with chloral hydrate, which acts as an extended-acting formulation of chloral hydrate which is then metabolized into trichloroethanol, which is responsible for most or all of its effects.
