Flunitrazepam is marketed as "Rohypnol" by Hoffman - La Roche in Latin America and Europe. It is sold as a treatment for insomnia as well as pre-anesthetic medication. One of its primary actions is to cause anterograde amnesia, as well as general feelings of intoxication. It is used by some in the rave scene as a recreational psychoactive. While it is perhaps best known as a 'date rape drug' due to its use by a small number of people to facilitate date rape, this use is relatively rare.

Flunitrazepam is a sleeping pill under the brand name Rohypnol that is not approved for sale in the U.S. It is a benzodiazepine, the same class of drugs as valium (diazepam). Because it is colorless, tasteless, and odorless, it can incapacitate those who ingest it, and can produce disinhibition and anterograde amnesia (inability to recall what occurred during the time of Rohypnol use). Rohypnol is ... referred to as a "drug-assisted assault" drug.
