Butabarbital pills

320.00990.00

Butabarbital is a barbiturate medication primarily used for its sedative and hypnotic properties. It belongs to a class of drugs known as central nervous system (CNS) depressants and is commonly prescribed to treat insomnia and sometimes used as part of preoperative sedation in certain medical procedures. However, like other barbiturates, it carries significant risks of dependence, overdose, and addiction, which has led to its decreased use in favor of other medications with safer profiles.

Chemical & Physical Properties:

  • Chemical Name: 5-Butyl-5-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-barbituric acid

  • Molecular Formula: C12H18N2O3

  • Molecular Weight: 238.29 g/mol

  • Appearance: Butabarbital typically comes in pill or tablet form.

Primary Uses:

Butabarbital is used for the following purposes:

  1. Insomnia: It is often prescribed to treat short-term or acute insomnia by promoting sedation and sleep. The medication helps people fall asleep and stay asleep.

  2. Preoperative Sedation: In some cases, it is used to sedate patients before surgery or certain medical procedures.

  3. Anxiety: In some instances, it may be prescribed to help alleviate symptoms of anxiety or nervousness as it has calming and relaxing effects.

Mechanism of Action:

Butabarbital works by enhancing the effects of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a neurotransmitter that inhibits brain activity. This results in a depressant effect on the central nervous system, promoting relaxation, sleep, and calming effects. By increasing GABA’s effects, Butabarbital produces sedation and muscle relaxation.

Side Effects and Risks:

Butabarbital, like other barbiturates, carries several side effects and health risks:

  1. Addiction and Dependence: Butabarbital has a high potential for abuse and dependence. Tolerance can develop, leading to the need for higher doses to achieve the same effects, increasing the risk of addiction.

  2. Overdose Risk: Taking too much Butabarbital can lead to respiratory depression, coma, and even death. The risk of overdose is higher when combined with other CNS depressants, such as alcohol or benzodiazepines.

  3. Cognitive and Motor Impairment: Butabarbital can impair memory, judgment, and coordination, making activities like driving dangerous.

  4. Withdrawal Symptoms: If used for a long period, abrupt cessation can lead to withdrawal symptoms, including anxiety, tremors, seizures, and delirium.

  5. Mental Health Effects: Long-term use can worsen depression or mood disorders.
