Glutethimide is a hypnotic medication used to treat insomnia that is a safer alternative to barbiturates. The effects of glutethimide on withdrawal were just as severe as those of caffeine, but it became clear just as soon that glutethimide was just as likely to cause addiction. There were other brands of this drug, including Elrodorm, Noxyron, and Glimid. Doriden was the brand name of the drug; it was also sold under the brand names Elrodorm, Noxyron, and Glimid. Today, both generic and brand-name medications are rarely prescribed. Most of the time, the drug is used to make patients sleepy and to calm them down. As a lipophilic compound, glutethimide is highly concentrated in adipose tissue and the brain. In contrast to tranquilizers, it is a safer alternative. As it undergoes extensive metabolic processing in the liver, it is excreted by the kidneys in the form of unconjugated and conjugated metabolites. By inducing the CYP2D6 enzyme, glutethimide allows the body to convert codeine into morphine when taken with codeine. Among the most commonly used brand names for Glutethimide are Ciba, glue, and gofer. In the category of psychotropic substances, it is classified as a Schedule II drug.

Depending on the patient, the dosage may vary. The long-term effectiveness of glutethimide depends on higher doses due to tolerance building up. It is also possible for them to experience severe withdrawal symptoms when they stop taking the drug. The patient should be treated for withdrawal under the supervision of a doctor who can taper down the dosage and taper off the drug. There is also a potential for addiction with this medication. When mixed with other drugs, it can produce euphoric effects, causing patients to seek it out for recreational purposes even when they don't need it. The withdrawal effects of glutethimide can lead to patients becoming dependent on glutethimide, and they will continue taking glutethimide to avoid unpleasant side effects.
