WHAT IS NEMBUTAL
Nembutal is the brand name for pentobarbital, a barbiturate medication that acts as a central nervous system depressant. It was historically used for treating insomnia, anxiety, and seizures, as well as for sedation before surgery. However, due to its high potential for abuse, overdose, and addiction, its medical use has become highly restricted.
