Pentothal (Thiopental Sodium for Injection, USP) is an ultrashort-acting depressant of the central nervous system which induces hypnosis and anesthesia, but not analgesia. It produces hypnosis within 30 to 40 seconds of intravenous injection.
In anaesthesiology the pharmacokinetics of thiopental are described as linear; when doses and duration of treatment increase, nonlinear pharmacokinetics occur because of the saturation and/or the induction of the metabolism.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
