Label: DANGEROUS

Indicating to the pharmacist that it must be stored separately from other substances in the cabinet for toxic substances, the famous ‘poison cabinet’.

Gardénal revolutionised the treatment of epilepsy and was widely used as a hypnotic (sleeping pill) and sedative throughout the 20th century. Its narrow therapeutic margin (risk of barbiturate coma and severe dependence) fully justified its classification as a dangerous substance requiring isolation.

It comes from the former cellar-laboratory of a Parisian pharmacy. The bottles had not been moved from the shelves since the late 1950s. The cellar had served as a medical analysis laboratory and a laboratory for the pharmacy’s compounded preparations from 1900 until around 1950.
