Influence of flunitrazepam on body functions.
The effects of intravenous flunitrazepam (Rohypnol, Roche) on various body functions were studied and the following conclusions were reached: it is a very potent sedative/hypnotic even in small doses, it may cause depression of spontaneous breathing, it does not give rise to raised cerebrospinal fluid or intra-ocular pressure, it does not adversely affect renal function, and it can be used quite safely in combination with fentanyl or pentazocine in anaesthetic practice.
