Neonal and amytal are not completely destroyed in the body but are excreted in the urine to the extent of about 8 per cent of the administered dose. Amytal may be recovered in human urines and thus the quantitative barbiturate test may be utilized in the diagnosis of amytal and also of neonal poisoning. Iso-butyl-allyl barbituric acid ("sandoptal") and phenylbutyl barbituric acid are excreted in the urine to the extent of about 1 per cent only.
