ROHYPNOL® (542) Flunitrazepam 1 mg (🇩🇪)
- Brand Name: ROHYPNOL®
- Active Ingredient: Flunitrazepam
- Flunitrazepam is a benzodiazepine that has strong sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, and muscle relaxant effects. It is primarily used to treat severe insomnia for short-term use, as it induces sleep quickly and maintains it through the night. Its potent sedative effect helps calm the nervous system, promoting deep, uninterrupted sleep.
- Company and Country of Origin:
- Originally developed by Hoffmann-La Roche in Germany, ROHYPNOL is now produced by various pharmaceutical companies depending on the country.
- Advantages:
- Effective for severe insomnia: Induces rapid sleep onset and maintains sleep, especially useful in cases of sleep disorders.
- Strong sedative effects: Provides deep relaxation and muscle relaxation, which can also assist in anxiety-related sleep disturbances.
- Short-term use: Typically prescribed for brief periods due to its potency and potential for dependency, making it effective for acute sleep issues.
Rohypnol is an intermediate-acting benzodiazepine with general properties similar to those of Valium (diazepam). It is used in the short-term treatment of insomnia, as a pre-medication in surgical procedures and for inducing anesthesia.
Like other benzodiazepines (such as Valium, Ativan and Xanax), Rohypnol’s therapeutic effects include:
- sedation
- muscle relaxation
- reduction in anxiety
- prevention of convulsions.
However, the sedative effects of Rohypnol are approximately 7 to 10 times stronger than Valium. The action of Rohypnol appears 15 to 20 minutes after administration and last approximately four to six hours. Some residual effects can be found 12 hours or more after administration.
