Flunitrazepam (formerly marketed under the trade name Rohypnol in North America, pronounced ˌfluːnaɪˈtræzəpæm) is a drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative. It has powerful sedative, anxiolytic, and skeletal muscle relaxant properties.

History


Flunitrazepam was first synthesized in the early 1970s by Roche and was used in hospitals when deep sedation was needed. It first entered the commercial market in Europe in 1975, and in the 1980s it began to be available in other countries.

It originally came in 1 mg, 2 mg, and 5 mg sizes, but due to its potency and potential for abuse, the higher doses were taken off the market and it is now only available in 1 mg.
