Phenoturic Pharmacology

Phenobarbital, the longest-acting barbiturate, is used for its anticonvulsant and sedative-hypnotic properties in the management of all seizure disorders except absence (petit mal).

Phenoturic Absorption

Absorbed in varying degrees following oral, rectal or parenteral administration. The salts are more rapidly absorbed than are the acids. The rate of absorption is increased if the sodium salt is ingested as a dilute solution or taken on an empty stomach

Phenoturic side effects and Toxicity

hazardous tasks (e.g., driving, operating machinery, etc.).

CNS depressants (e.g., alcohol, narcotics, tranquilizers, and antihistamines) may result in additional CNS
