Phenazolam, (Clobromazolam, DM-II-90, BRN 4550445) is a benzodiazepine derivative which acts as a potent sedative and hypnotic drug. It was first invented in the early 1980s,[1] but was never developed for medical use. It has been sold over the internet as a designer drug, first being identified in seized samples by a laboratory in Sweden in March 2016.[2][3]

Legality

Clobromazolam was made illegal in Serbia in May 2019,[4] and in Italy in March 2020.[5]
