I had a major dental procedure in 1989. It was in the days when dentists could use hypnotic drugs in conjunction with lidnocaine to induce amnesia and minimise memories of the unpleasant time in the chair.
The drug I was given was called something like Brytol (sp?) but I've Googled this and can't find anything. I've tried britol, Pritol etc.but had no success.
Bit of a long shot but does anybody know the drug I'm talking about? I'm guessing it's in the same class as midazolam.
Ta
Nembutal ?
It sounds like Brietal (Methohexital) which is a barbiturate induction agent. Midazolam is a benzodiazepine.
Neiladams: thank you soooooooooo much. This has been bugging me for ages! You're a bloody star.
Slightly off topic but Nembutal mentioned above is in big demand by people who wish to have a peaceful death at a time of their choosing. VERY difficult to get hold of and illegal to import. The internet is awash with scam websites according to Exit International. Mexican veterinary suppliers seem to be one of few legitimate sources.
I'd quite like some ...how about a bulk buy with us picking straws for the person who will order!
@neiladams Was a barbiturate indication agent, surely?
When I was a novice SHO 15y ago it was no longer available; some of the more senior consultants would reminisce fondly about it, along with other agents of historical interest such as the legendary cyclo…
Induction agent surely
Yep. And it always happens when you're trying to make a point 😁
What's the cyclo?
Without fail!
Cyclopropane. Supposedly it was marvellous - rapid onset for gas inductions, and a positive inotrope. Downside was that it was potentially explosive in clinical concentrations with oxygen…
@ratherbeintobago yes it is historic and no longer in use but its pharmaceutical classification today is still a barbiturate induction agent is it not?
@neiladams Yes, fair one.
Doesn’t explode though. They had far more interesting drugs than propofol and sevo in the 1980s
