Methaqualone is a sedative and hypnotic medication that was previously prescribed for the treatment of insomnia and anxiety. It is a quinazolinone derivative and was commonly used in combination with other drugs as a sleeping aid. Due to its high abuse potential and risk of addiction, it has been withdrawn or banned in many countries and is not approved for medical use today.
Pharmacokinetic parameters are estimated for oral administration in healthy adult subjects due to lack of published clinical PK data for methaqualone combinations.
