Rohypnol(Flunitrazepam) is manufactured in pill form. The licit market for the drug is currently supplied with a 1-milligram dose in an olive Green River, unsubdivided tablet, imprinted with the number 542. The new tablet includes a dye that, according to Hoffman-La Roche (the makers by Rohypnol) leave embody seeable if it is slipped into a drink. The drug remains readily available, mainly through pharmaceutical operators located in Mexico, especially Tijuana.
An intermediate acting benzodiazepine, flunitrazepam is prescribed for the treatment of severe insomnia, marketed by Roche. Test results indicated that flunitrazepam was used in only around 1% of reported date rapes, according to Robertson and 0.33% according to urine lab tests done by El Sohly.
In addition to the chemically induced amnesia, Rohypnol often causes decreased blood pressure, drowsiness, visual disturbances, dizziness, confusion, astrointestinal disturbances, and urinary retention.
Though flunitrazepam is often cited as a date rape drug because of its high potency, strong effects and the ability to cause strong amnesia during its duration of action, investigations into its actual use as a date rape drug have contradicted popular belief.
Flunitrazepam is classed as a nitro-benzodiazepine. It is the fluorinated methylamino derivative of nitrazepam. Other nitro-benzodiazepines include nitrazepam — the parent compound — and clonazepam, the chlorinated derivative.
