Phenobarbital is an antiseizure (antiepileptic) medicine from the barbiturate group. It slows down activity in the brain, which helps prevent seizures (fits), and it also makes people sleepy (sedative). It is a prescription medicine. It comes as tablets and a liquid (elixir), and as an injection given by a doctor or nurse. It is one of the older epilepsy medicines, and WHO lists it as an essential medicine for epilepsy in adults and children. It can be habit-forming, so it must be taken only as prescribed.
- Controlling most types of epileptic seizures in adults and children
- Also given as an injection by a doctor or nurse
- In some countries, such as the US, it is also prescribed for anxiety, or to prevent withdrawal symptoms when someone stops another barbiturate medicine
Get medical help straight away if
- Call an ambulance or go to the emergency department for signs of a severe allergic reaction: swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, trouble breathing, or a widespread rash or hives.
- Call an ambulance if someone is extremely sleepy or cannot be woken, has very slow or shallow breathing, feels very cold, collapses or has a fit. These can be signs of too much phenobarbital.
- Stop taking it and get medical help straight away for a serious skin reaction: a spreading rash with blisters or peeling skin, target-shaped spots, mouth sores or red eyes, often with flu-like feelings. Anyone who has had this reaction must never take phenobarbital again.
- Get medical help straight away for fever with a rash, swollen glands, or yellow skin or eyes, as this can be a reaction affecting the whole body.
