Bemegride（Cat No.:A000820）is a central nervous system stimulant with the molecular formula C8H13NO2, historically used as a respiratory stimulant and antidote for barbiturate overdose. It works by stimulating the medullary respiratory centers, increasing respiratory rate and depth, particularly in cases of drug-induced respiratory depression. Bemegride is administered intravenously and acts rapidly, but its use has declined due to the availability of safer and more effective treatments. It has also been used in experimental settings to provoke seizures for diagnostic purposes. Common side effects may include nausea, anxiety, or convulsions at higher doses.
