Brallobarbital is a barbiturate developed in the 1920s. It has sedative and hypnotic properties and was used for the treatment of insomnia. Brallobarbital was primarily sold as part of a combination product called Vesparax composed of 150 mg secobarbital 50 mg brallobarbital and 50 mg hydroxyzine. The long half-life of this combination of drugs tended to cause a hangover effect the next day and Vesparax fell into disuse once newer drugs with lesser side effects had been developed.
