1. seconal

   Secobarbital (as the sodium salt, originally marketed by Eli Lilly and Company for the treatment of insomnia, and subsequently by other companies as described below, under the brand name Seconal) is a short-acting barbiturate derivative drug that was patented in 1934 in the United States. It possesses anaesthetic, anticonvulsant, anxiolytic, sedative, and hypnotic properties. In the United Kingdom, it was known as quinalbarbitone. It is the most frequently used drug in physician-assisted suicide within the United States. Secobarbital is considered to be an obsolete sedative-hypnotic (sleeping pill), and as a result, it has largely been replaced by the benzodiazepine family. Seconal was widely abused, known on the street as "red devils" or "reds".

1. seconal

   Seconal is a brand name for secobarbital, a barbiturate medication that slows the activity of the brain and nervous system. It is primarily used as a sedative, hypnotic (for sleep), and as an anticonvulsant in epilepsy treatment. It can also be used for preoperative anxiety and fear. However, Seconal has high potential for abuse and severe dependency, and its usage is strictly controlled by medical professionals.
