What is Phenobarbital (Gardinal)?

Measuring its level helps ensure the drug is in a safe and effective range. Too little may not prevent seizures. Too much can cause drowsiness, breathing problems, or other toxic effects.

What symptoms suggest Phenobarbital (Gardinal) may be needed?
Phenobarbital (Gardinal) is ordered when your doctor needs objective laboratory data, either to follow up a symptom, check a previous result, or complete a routine assessment.
