Scopolamine Bromhydrate - Truth Serum
Antique SMALL pharmacy bottle
Red POISON label
Signaling to the pharmacist that it is imperative to keep apart the other substances in the cabinet of toxic substances, the famous poison cabinet.
Miniature laboratory bottle in amber glass from the mid-20th century, coming from the French Pharmaceutical Cooperation. This storage vial contained "Scopolamine Hydrobromide", a very powerful plant-derived alkaloid.
Used in psychiatry as a powerful sedative, in obstetrics (associated with morphine) to plunge patients into "crepuscular drowsiness", or as a "truth serum" during interrogations, scopolamine is a formidable substance.
Its area of therapeutic efficacy was particularly narrow. A slight overdose immediately switched the patient from the desired sedation to a deep coma, accompanied by severe respiratory depression and paralysis of vital functions, making this product fatal if not dosed to the nearest microgram.
It comes from an old cellar-laboratory in a Parisian pharmacy. The bottles had not moved since the late 1950s on the shelves. The cellar had served as a laboratory for medical analyses and a laboratory for magistral preparations of the pharmacy from 1900 until around 1950.
