Regarding Anesthetic to be Applied to Test Animals

Barbiturate drugs, such as Nembutal, Somnopentyl and Pentobarbital, etc., are known to have no muscle relaxant and analgesic effects, therefore, currently using these drugs is not recommended to apply to test animals as an anesthetic. Please reconsider changing anesthetic if you are using any of them.
