Why Would the High Solubility and Short Duration of Action

question 2

Multiple Choice

Why would the high solubility and short duration of action in barbiturates be beneficial for treating sleep disorders?

• A)High solubility allows for the drug to be eliminated quickly,getting it out of the system so that the side effect of grogginess in the morning is reduced.
• B)Barbiturates will have an increased absorption,resulting in less grogginess in the morning.
• C)The short duration of action allows for less chance of tolerance and dependence.
• D)High solubility allows for a person to fall asleep faster,and the short duration of action allows for less time necessary needed for the REM stage of sleep.
