Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Phenobarbital 24 mg/ml/Homatropine Methylbromide 0.27 mg/ml Oral Drops is a specially compounded medication designed to treat a range of conditions such as seizures, anxiety, and insomnia. This unique formulation combines two active ingredients, phenobarbital and homatropine methylbromide, to provide a more comprehensive treatment than either ingredient could offer on its own.

Phenobarbital is a barbiturate that functions as both a sedative and an anticonvulsant, helping to calm the nervous system and prevent seizures. Homatropine methylbromide, on the other hand, is an anticholinergic that aids in reducing the potential side effects of phenobarbital. The combination of these two ingredients creates a potent and effective treatment for the aforementioned conditions.

This medication is dispensed in a liquid form via a dropper bottle, which allows for precise and controlled administration. This is particularly beneficial for medications that require smaller doses or for pediatric patients who may have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules. The oral drop form also allows for easy dose adjustments as needed.

While this formulation can be used by both adults and children, it is crucial to note that it should only be administered under the supervision of a healthcare provider. This is due to the potential for serious side effects if the medication is not used correctly. Additionally, this formulation may interact with other medications, so it is essential for patients to discuss all current medications with their healthcare provider before starting this treatment.

At Bayview Pharmacy, we take pride in offering this compounded medication as part of our extensive range of services. If you have any questions about this formulation or how it can be used to treat your specific condition, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our team of experienced compounding pharmacists is always here to assist you.
