Glutethimide was last manufactured by the (former) ethical pharmaceutical company, William H Rorer, of Ft. Washington. PA until the 1st quarter of 1993, when Rorer, withdrew, the sedative, from production, (allegedly due to the D.E.A., who re-scheduled the often effective sedative, in late 1991, from decades from a USA C-III, with refills, to a C-II, with NO REFILLS. imo, sales in USA dropped off, due to the "Stigma" of a C-II, + the minority of individuals who abused this med with a ethical antihistamine, on the street, termed "4's & doors" meaning tylenol #4, (codiene with 60 mg of codeine with APAP + the standard dose of 500 mg of Doridan, a sedative, that allegedly users stated it felt like the "big H". Also, William H Rorer, had merged in the year 1990, with a huge multi-million dollar "deal" with the ethical pharma mfg called "Rhone-Phoulenc" that, may have effected the decision to continue producing the name brand med called "Doriden a household name since back to the 1960's when "Ciba Phamaceuticals, mfg the drug "Doriden" in a 0.5 Gm pill, that was once approved for the "USA Medicare designated compendium" (source: PDR 22nd edition for the year 1968).

The last two (2) countries that manufactured this imo most effective medication, was both in Romania & Hungary, which both countries, discontinued these meds by the beginning of the year 2007. imno, it is now long gone......Note: in the 1970's when USV Phara made these C-III meds, they were instantly recognizable with the embossment of a "354" scoreline and, a blank on the lower side of the round white pill. My last Rx for them was in Phoenix Arizona from a dental oral surgeon, who prescribed me, #6 tabs with 2 refills, of this imho, a excellent sedative !!! (not a all like the horror stories) of the new age imo soft hypnotic "zolpidem" known formerly as "Amb*en" !! we can thank our Dee Eee A for that! LOL !!
