Sodium pentathol is a barbiturate drug medically used as a short-acting general anaesthetic. As a side effect at low doses, it lowers the inhibitions of those into whom it is injected. This makes it difficult for a person under its influence to lie coherently. It is the closest real-life equivalent to the frequent fiction plot device of truth serum.
