Is that the same as pentobarbital? I'd heard of phenobarbitol, but, thought what they were talking about was something different. Is it just a typo on the study, then?

Just looked up pentobarbital....

"a granular barbiturate C11H18N2O3 used especially in the form of its sodium or calcium salt as a sedative, hypnotic, and antispasmodic "

and, phenobarbitol....

"A sedating medication used to control seizures"

I guess they're not the same drug, but, similar results from taking them.....I was about to disregard that entire study if they couldn't even spell the drug correctly.
