Trial of the Week: Phenobarbital for Acute Alcohol Withdrawal

Special Guest: Joseph Lam, PharmD

Joseph Lam joins me to highlight the 2013 trial published in the Journal of Emergency: Phenobarbital for acute alcohol withdrawal: a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Joe shares his experience in the trial and all he did behind the scenes. Plus, we discuss the role of phenobarbital at that time, what this study found, what do we still need to know on this topic, and much more.
