Sonéryl - Butobarbital - Barbiturates
Antique pharmacy bottle
Sonéryl is the brand name for butobarbital, a key substance in the barbiturate family.
Introduced in the 1920s, Sonéryl was a powerful hypnotic (sleeping pill) and sedative. It was widely prescribed to treat nervous insomnia, agitation or anxiety.
At that time, barbiturates were regarded as veritable miracle cures for sleep, far more effective than the old opium- or bromide-based syrups.
However, the extent of their dramatic side effects was not yet known: a very high risk of habituation, severe physical dependence and a risk of fatal overdose (very common, whether accidental or deliberate).
It comes from the old 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.
