Hexethal (Ortal ) is a barbiturate derivative invented in the 1940s. It has sedative , anxiolytic , muscle relaxant , and anticonvulsant properties, and was used primarily as an anaesthetic in veterinary medicine.
[ 1]
Hexethal is considered similar in effects to pentobarbital , with a very fast onset of action but short duration of effects.
