Hi,
One of my friend found some pills in his house , It's an antiepileptic and a sedating medicine for Dogs & Cats
The packaging contain 30 Pills
The composition for one pills is :
- Meprobamate 10mg
- Phenobarbital 15mg
- Sodium Bromure 75mg
Excipient:
Titrated Belladone Powder
Aubepins Flowers and Leaves
Dry Balotte Extract
Gelsemium Extract
Hydrated Colloidal Silicium
Diatomite
Kaolin
Potatoes Starch
Corn Starch
Pregelatinised Corn Starch
Magnesium Stearate
Coating
Acrylic Resin
And he ask me if he can take that for his sleep disorder. What do you think ?
Question
1 : - Can this medecine be used on Human ? If no what molecule is not good for us ? Can it be extracted ?
2 : - What dosage you think is safe to start ?
I know the normal dosage for :
- Meprobamate - 500mg - 1000mg
- Sodium Bromide 1000-3000mg
- And for Phenobarbital :
- Anticonvulsant : Maintenance: 50-100 mg PO TID
- Sedation : 30-120 mg PO qD divided BID/TID
- Hypnotic : 100-320 mg PO/IV/IM qD;
No advantage to dividing daily dose because of long t1/2
But i Know this too : Phenobarbital is a barbiturate anticonvulsant and sedative hypnotic his activity is potentiated by brominated derivative and by meprobamate.
Meprobamate is an anxiolytic and a muscle relaxant his activity is potentiated by phenobarbital.
So i think the principal active is phenobarbital but with the potentiation i think the dosage must be lowered
Thanks , Bye
