Description
The main active ingredients are sodium thiopental (C11H17N2NaO2S) and sodium pentobarbital (C11H17N2NaO3).
Both belong to the barbiturate group—barbituric acid derivatives that have a pronounced depressant effect on the central nervous system.
An ideal method for voluntary end-of-life. It is used in medical practice worldwide for euthanasia, as it combines anesthetic and hypnotic properties, guaranteeing painless death.
It is administered orally once, manufactured in the UK, and results are 100% guaranteed.
A truly high-quality and painless method. Within half an hour to an hour of administration, the person falls asleep, and this is impossible to resist; all processes leading to the cessation of vital functions occur during sleep and take only a few minutes. Waking the person or interfering with the process in any way is impossible; death is guaranteed. Without pain, nausea, suffocation, or anything else. The medical community worldwide, where euthanasia is legal, uses this method.
There are no equivalents.
Barbiturates enhance the inhibitory effect of GABA by opening chloride channels and reducing neuronal excitability.
They cause depression of the respiratory center, vascular tone, and cardiac activity.
Lethal dose:
• Pentobarbital: 1-2 g (for an adult).
• Thiopental: 0.5-1 g.
Time to death:
• Intravenous administration: 1-5 minutes.
• Oral administration: up to 1 hour, depending on the condition of the body.
Death occurs from acute respiratory failure and paralysis of the vasomotor center in an unconscious state.
Signs of poisoning:
• Severe drowsiness, confusion
• Slow breathing, weak pulse
• Drop in blood pressure
• Constricted pupils, hypothermia
• Loss of consciousness, coma
It is detected in blood, urine, liver, kidneys, and brain.
Methods: GC-MS, HPLC, IR spectroscopy.
Traces persist for up to 3-5 days after death.
Characteristic signs include pulmonary edema, venous congestion, thin, dark blood, and severe CNS depression.
Store in a tightly sealed container.
