Phenobarbital

A barbiturate with sedative and antiepileptic action, first marketed in Germany in 1912: it is the oldest antiepileptic still in common use. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards and other impurities.

Did you know?Its effect against epilepsy was discovered almost by chance by the young German doctor Alfred Hauptmann, who gave it to his epileptic patients as a tranquilliser to help them sleep and saw their seizures decrease.
