Pyrithyldione is a barbiturate-derived sedative-hypnotic drug from the dioxopiperidine class. It was formerly used as an anticonvulsant and sedative, primarily in the mid-20th century. Pyrithyldione is not currently approved for use and has largely been superseded by safer and more effective medications.
No published pharmacokinetic (PK) studies with specific quantitative PK parameters for any population (healthy adults, special populations, or patients) were identified in available scientific literature.
