[英文釋義] A short-acting barbiturate that is effective as a sedative and hypnotic (but not as an anti-anxiety) agent and is usually given orally. It is prescribed more frequently for sleep induction than for sedation but,like similar agents,may lose its effectiveness by the second week of continued administration.
