4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Methohexital is indicated for use as an intravenous anaesthetic. It has also been commonly used to induce deep sedation.


FDA Label


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Methohexital, a barbiturate, is used for the induction of anesthesia prior to the use of other general anesthetic agents and for induction of anesthesia for short surgical, diagnostic, or therapeutic procedures associated with minimal painful stimuli. Little analgesia is conferred by barbiturates; their use in the presence of pain may result in excitation.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Anesthetics, Intravenous

Ultrashort-acting anesthetics that are used for induction. Loss of consciousness is rapid and induction is pleasant, but there is no muscle relaxation and reflexes frequently are not reduced adequately. Repeated administration results in accumulation and prolongs the recovery time. Since these agents have little if any analgesic activity, they are seldom used alone except in brief minor procedures. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p174) (See all compounds classified as Anesthetics, Intravenous.)

5.5 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

The absolute bioavailability following rectal administration of methohexital is 17%.


Route of Elimination

Excretion occurs via the kidneys through glomerular filtration.


5.6 Metabolism/Metabolites

Metabolism occurs in the liver through demethylation and oxidation. Side-chain oxidation is the most important biotransformation involved in termination of biologic activity.


5.7 Biological Half-Life

5.6 ± 2.7 minutes


5.8 Mechanism of Action

Methohexital binds at a distinct binding site associated with a Cl- ionopore at the GABAA receptor, increasing the duration of time for which the Cl- ionopore is open. The post-synaptic inhibitory effect of GABA in the thalamus is, therefore, prolonged.
