Nembutal (Pentobarbital Sodium) can be purchased over- the-counter and online as a liquid solution and sometimes as a powder. The powder is a white crystalline salt. Only rarely is the drug available as tablets or capsules for human use as a sleeping agent.
Liquid Nembutal is a veterinary product that is used for animal anaesthesia or euthanasia. The anaesthetic form comes packaged as a sterile clear liquid in either 50ml or 100ml bottles and has a concentration of 65mg/ml (ie a 50ml/100ml bottle contains 3.25 gm/6.5gm of Nembutal).
A second (euthanasia) form of liquid is also available. At 200mg/ ml, a standard 100ml bottle contains 20gm of the drug. A single 100ml bottle of ‘Dolethal’ would contain enough Nembutal to reliably end the lives of two people. This form of the liquid Nembutal is dyed pink for safety.
