Veronal was the very first barbiturate in history, marketed at the turn of the century as a powerful sedative and hypnotic.
It was mainly prescribed as a hypnotic (sleeping pill) and sedative. It revolutionised the treatment of chronic insomnia and psychiatric disorders in the early 20th century, before being superseded by other derivatives due to its toxicity.
Veronal has a narrow therapeutic margin: the difference between the effective dose and the lethal dose is small.
Furthermore, it is eliminated slowly by the body, leading to accumulation effects. It quickly became one of the substances most frequently implicated in cases of acute poisoning, fatal accidents and high-profile suicides during the first half of the 20th century.
It became infamous for suicides, such as that of the writer Stefan Zweig.
