| Description | Methylphenobarbital, also known as mebaral or mephobarbitone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as barbituric acid derivatives. Barbituric acid derivatives are compounds containing a perhydropyrimidine ring substituted at C-2, -4 and -6 by oxo groups. It is the N-methylated analogue of phenobarbital and has similar indications, therapeutic value, and tolerability.1935 – Mebaral was introduced by Winthrop Pharmaceuticals.2001 – Methylphenobarbital discontinued in the UK.2003 – Mebaral was acquired by Ovation Pharmaceuticals (a specialty pharmaceutical company that acquired under-promoted branded pharmaceutical products).2009 – Ovation was acquired by Lundbeck, which now markets Mebaral.2012 – Lundbeck announced that they were abandoning the product in the US as of January 6, 2012. Methylphenobarbital is a drug which is used for the relief of anxiety, tension, and apprehension, also used as an anticonvulsant for the treatment of epilepsy. The last available tablets bore an expiration date of March 31, 2012, and the drug will no longer be available in the US when supplies are depleted. Methylphenobarbital is a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). The stated reason was because "the company thoroughly evaluated all avenues for keeping Mebaral available to patients, but ultimately concluded that no matter what steps they [i.e. Lundbeck] took, patients would be forced to transition to a new therapy."The company further stated in a letter on its website that under the FDA's Unapproved Drugs Initiative, FDA is no longer willing to allow the drug to be grandfathered. Methylphenobarbital is a potentially toxic compound. A new drug application would have needed to have been submitted to gain marketing approval, which would have taken an estimated five years, during which time patients would be required to change their therapies in any case. Symptoms of overdose of mephobarbital include confusion, decrease in or loss of reflexes, somnolence, fever, irritability, hypothermia, poor judgment, shortness of breath or slow/troubled breathing, slow heartbeat, slurred speech, staggering, trouble in sleeping, unusual movements of the eyes, weakness. |
