Nembutal

Nembutal can be purchased in both 20 ml and 50 ml bottles through Covetrus North America, the supplier that University of Pittsburgh investigators must use to obtain controlled substances.

Should an investigator require a custom formulation of Nembutal that is not commercially available, use of Heiber's Compounding Pharmacy may be permitted. In such a case, an investigator must obtain a prescription in order for the drug to be compounded by Hieber's pharmacy.

Please note that Nembutal is a schedule II controlled substance, and must be obtained, stored, dispensed, and administered in accordance with the University's controlled substance guidelines.
