Flutazolam (Coreminal, MS-4101) is a drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative. It was invented in Japan, and this is the main country in which it has been used medically. It has sedative and anxiolytic effects similar to those produced by other benzodiazepine derivatives, and is around the same potency as diazepam.[1]
Flutazolam is closely related in structure to another benzodiazepine, haloxazolam.[2][3]
