Study this Barbiturates mnemonic and other NCLEX mnemonics with Pixorize.
Barbiturates are a class of drugs, easily recognizable with their “-barbital” ending, with the most common drug being phenobarbital. Barbiturates are CNS depressants, meaning they slow down brain and neural activity. This makes barbiturates useful in treating seizures and treating insomnia. Side effects of barbiturates include sedation, dependence, and respiratory depression. Barbiturates are not commonly prescribed anymore because of their high abuse potential and the risk of fatal overdose.
