Summary
Focuses primarily on barbiturates and benzodiazepines. Students learn how sedative-hypnotics drugs reduce CNS (Central Nervous System) activity, despite their differing chemical origins. The lesson explains how use of these drugs can progress from simple relaxation (sedation) at low doses to coma and death in higher doses. Discussion also uncovers how these drugs, normally used to induce lethargy, can induce unexpected behaviors due to loss of inhibition.
