What is Phenobarbital Injection?
Phenobarbital is a barbiturate that depresses the central nervous system (CNS). It is used in injectable form for acute seizure control, preoperative sedation, and emergency anticonvulsant therapy when oral administration is not possible or effective.
Uses of Phenobarbital Injection
- Emergency treatment of status epilepticus
- Neonatal seizures (first-line therapy in many NICUs)
- Management of tonic-clonic and partial seizures
- Sedation before surgery or medical procedures
How Does Phenobarbital Injection Work?
Phenobarbital enhances the action of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the brain’s inhibitory neurotransmitter. This results in slowed nerve activity, providing seizure control and sedation.
Common Side Effects of Phenobarbital Injection
- Drowsiness or sedation
- Hypotension
- Respiratory depression (especially at high doses)
- Nausea or dizziness
- Dependence or withdrawal with prolonged use
