Extract

Derivatives of barbituric acid are in general sedatives, hypnotics and analgesics, but sodium amytal (S.A.) occupies a special position, because of its effect on certain mental and nervous conditions. It produces transient amelioration in catatonic schizophrenia and hypnosis-like conditions in neuroses. The latter is important through the fact that one is able to study hypnosis from a different pharmacological point of view.
