Chemical compound
Bemegride (trademarked as Megimide) is a central nervous system stimulant.[1] The drug was first made in 1911.[2] It has been used in hypnotic overdose.[1]
As with other chemoreceptor agonists, it is a potent emetic at doses above those normally used in management of barbiturate overdose although emesis and aspiration are a concern during treatment.
It is a controlled substance in some countries.[1]
