Flutoprazepam (Restas) is a drug which is a benzodiazepine. It was patented in Japan by Sumitomo in 1972 and its medical use remains mostly confined to that country. Its muscle relaxant properties are approximately equivalent to those of diazepam – however it has more powerful sedative hypnotic anxiolytic and anticonvulsant effects and is around four times more potent by weight compared to diazepam.
