PHENOHYTRO- phenobarbital, hyoscyamine sulfate, atropine sulfate, and scopolamine hydrobromide_elixir
Function and Efficacy
This drug combination provides phenobarbital combined with belladonna alkaloids in a specific, fixed ratio to provide anticholinergic/antispasmodic action and mild sedation. Phenobarbital is a barbiturate, nonselective central nervous system depressant. It is primarily used as a sedative hypnotic and also as an anticonvulsant in subhypnotic doses. Atropine Sulfate, Hyoscyamine Sulfate, and Scopolamine are belladonna alkaloids classified as anticholinergic, antimuscarinic drugs. They act to inhibit muscarinic actions of acetylcholine at postganglionic parasympathetic neuron effector sites. These drugs are also used as antispasmodics due to their anticholinergic action. They produce the effect in the body of reduced muscle spasms in the digestive or urinary tract, and reduced fluid secretions from certain glands or organs.
