Proxibarbal
Proxibarbal (pronounced: prok-see-bar-bal) is a pharmaceutical drug used in the treatment of various neurological disorders.
Etymology
The term "Proxibarbal" is derived from the Latin words 'proximus' meaning 'nearest' and 'barbal' which is a derivative of 'barbiturate', a class of drugs to which Proxibarbal belongs.
Usage
Proxibarbal is primarily used in the treatment of epilepsy and other seizure disorders. It works by slowing down the activity of the brain and nervous system, thereby reducing the frequency and intensity of seizures.
Related Terms
