Allobarbital is a drug from the group of barbiturates . It has a strong sedative effect. Allobarbital was patented by CIBA in 1912 and used as a sleep aid (Dial ® ) and as a component of pain relievers (Cibalen ® , Cibalgin ® ). It is one of the barbiturates with a medium-long duration of action (2–8 h). Because of the narrow therapeutic range , the side effect profile and the addictive potential, it is now subject to the narcotics prescription regulation. It has not been approved as a sleeping pill in Germany or Switzerland since 1992.
