What is Phenobarbital Sodium?

Phenobarbital Sodium is a brand-name prescription drug administered as an injection to provide sedation, treat convulsions, or prevent seizures. It is administered to patients prior to and following medical procedures, patients who are unable to sleep, and patients who are actively convulsing. Phenobarbital Sodium is also used to prevent convulsions in epileptic patients subject to tonic-clonic or generalized focal seizures. Phenobarbital Sodium is sometimes used off-label as an emergency sedative to calm over-excitement when it threatens the health of the person or others.

Phenobarbital Sodium belongs to a class of drugs called barbiturates, a type of central nervous system depressant. Phenobarbital Sodium acts on chemical receptors in the brain called GABA receptors. GABA is a chemical that keeps the brain awake and active. Binding to GABA receptors slows down (or depresses) the brain's activity, both raising the threshold for seizures and putting the patient to sleep.

Phenobarbital Sodium is administered as an intramuscular or intravenous injection by a healthcare professional.

What are the side effects of Phenobarbital Sodium?

Phenobarbital Sodium is a sedative so its most common side effects are drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, and sleepiness. Most people who are given a Phenobarbital Sodium injection will experience some level of sedation, a reduction in excitability, and response.

Other common side effects include but are not limited to nausea, vomiting, constipation, hypoventilation, slow heart rate, low blood pressure, and headache.

Besides sleepiness, mental and mood changes include confusion, depression, abnormal thoughts, nightmares, and, paradoxically, excitement, nervousness, and agitation.

Allergic reactions are possible and could be severe, including severe skin reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrosis, potentially life-threatening drug reactions.
