Product Overview

Phenobarbital is a long-acting barbiturate with potent anticonvulsant properties. It is specifically engineered to provide sustained elevation of the seizure threshold, making it the most widely used anticonvulsant globally for the long-term management of generalized and partial seizures.

The “Gold Standard” Anticonvulsant:

  • Mechanism of Action: Phenobarbital acts as a non-selective Central Nervous System (CNS) depressant. It primarily works by binding to the GABA-A receptor, prolonging the opening of chloride ion channels. This action hyperpolarizes neurons, increasing synaptic inhibition and suppressing the spread of seizure activity.
  • Pharmacokinetic Stability: With an exceptionally long half-life (~50–120 hours), Phenobarbital provides extremely stable plasma concentrations. This makes it highly “forgiving” regarding missed doses, which is a critical factor in patient compliance and seizure prevention.
  • Broad Spectrum Utility: Beyond epilepsy, it is utilized for its sedative and hypnotic properties in preoperative settings and as a specialized treatment for neonatal jaundice by inducing hepatic enzymes.

Therapeutic Indications & Clinical Symptoms

  • Epilepsy: Management of generalized tonic-clonic seizures and partial seizures.
  • Status Epilepticus: Maintenance therapy following acute control of prolonged seizures.
  • Sedation: Short-term relief of anxiety and tension.
  • Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia: Adjunctive treatment to reduce bilirubin levels via hepatic enzyme induction.

Dosage & Administration

  • Dosing: Usually ranges from 60 mg to 200 mg daily for adults, often taken at bedtime due to its sedative effect.
  • Monitoring: Periodic Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is recommended to maintain serum levels within the 15–40 mcg/mL range.
