WHAT DOES ROHYPNOL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Rohypnol

Flunitrazepam

Flunitrazepam /ˌfluːnɨˈtræzɨpæm/ — also known as Narcozep, Rohypnol, Rohipnol, Roipnol, or in the vernacular, simply roofies — is an intermediate acting benzodiazepine used as an hypnotic, sedative, anticonvulsant, anxiolytic and skeletal muscle relaxant drug. It was developed by a team led by Leo Sternbach at Hoffman La-Roche in produced the common precursors to 1,4-benzophenones in 1963. A series of tests showed that an N-methyl & '2F-fluoro produced the most potent hypnotic of the series that started with an earlier Sternbach invention, Nitrazepam. In general, the prescription of flunitrazepam as a hypnotic is intended to be for short-term treatment of chronic or severe insomniacs not responsive to other hypnotics, especially in inpatients. It is considered to be one of the most effective benzodiazepine hypnotics on a dose basis. Just as with other hypnotics, flunitrazepam should be strictly used only on a short-term basis or in those with chronic insomnia on an occasional basis. Flunitrazepam is classed as a nitro-benzodiazepine. It is the fluorinated N-methyl derivative of nitrazepam.
