CONT

La méthyprylone est un hypnotique non barbiturique qui s'emploie comme somnifère

CONT

La méthyprylone ne devrait plus être utilisée dans le traitement de l'insomnie, car même si le fabricant insiste dans sa publicité sur le fait que la méthyprylone n'est pas un barbiturique, elle présente en fait des dangers comparables d'accoutumances et de dépendance
