need iformation on a medication equifalent to doridan
nitrazepam are probably the closest to doridan. formerly known as mogadon not quite as strong as doridan but had pretty much the same effect
Glutethimide was last manufactured by the (former) ethical pharmaceutical company, William H Rorer, of Ft. Washington. PA until the 1st quarter of 1993, when Rorer, withdrew, the sedative, from production, (allegedly due to the D.E.A., who re-scheduled the often effective sedative, in late 1991, from decades from a USA C-III, with refills, to a C-II, with NO REFILLS. imo, sales in USA dropped off, due to the "Stigma" of a C-II, + the minority of individuals who abused this med with a ethical antihistamine, on the street, termed "4's & doors" meaning tylenol #4, (codiene with 60 mg of codeine with APAP + the standard dose of 500 mg of Doridan, a sedative, that allegedly users stated it felt like the "big H". Also, William H Rorer, had merged in the year 1990, with a huge multi-million dollar "deal" with the ethical pharma mfg called "Rhone-Phoulenc" that, may have effected the decision to continue producing the name brand med called "Doriden a household name since back to the 1960's when "Ciba Phamaceuticals, mfg the drug "Doriden" in a 0.5 Gm pill, that was once approved for the "USA Medicare designated compendium" (source: PDR 22nd edition for the year 1968).
The last two (2) countries that manufactured this imo most effective medication, was both in Romania & Hungary, which both countries, discontinued these meds by the beginning of the year 2007. imno, it is now long gone......Note: in the 1970's when USV Phara made these C-III meds, they were instantly recognizable with the embossment of a "354" scoreline and, a blank on the lower side of the round white pill. My last Rx for them was in Phoenix Arizona from a dental oral surgeon, who prescribed me, #6 tabs with 2 refills, of this imho, a excellent sedative !!! (not a all like the horror stories) of the new age imo soft hypnotic "zolpidem" known formerly as "Amb*en" !! we can thank our Dee Eee A for that! LOL !!
