It came in 5 mg, 2 mg, and 1 mg sizes, but due to its strength the higher doses were taken off the market and now it only comes in one strength: 1 mg. It is the strongest sleeping tablet to ever be made. Flunitrazepam is known by his pharmaceutical name Rohypnol.

Floaters
Small condensations of cells in the vitreous body, the fluid in the eye, which cast shadows on the back of the eye, known as the retina. This is normally associated with aging. Floaters may indicate a more serious problem such as a retinal detachment. If you suddenly see a lot of floaters, please see your eye doctor.
Fluorescein angiography
Fluorescein Angiography is a diagnostic test used to assess pathology that affects the retina, choroid and/or iris of the eye. Fluorescein angiography is used to assess the blood flow of the eye and abnormal states are referred to as either hyperfluorescence or hypofluorescence relative to the normal amount of fluorescence. Fluorescein angiography involves an intravenous injection of sodium Fluorescein ( a dye) into the antecubical vein ( a vein in the arm) and then photographs are taken of the eye as the dye enters and leaves the blood system of the eye. The doctor will evaluate prefilling ( i.e., what the retina and choroid look like before the dye enters the eye), transit ( i.e., first passage of dye through the retina and choroid), recirculation (i.e., fluoroscien has become equally distributed throughout the eye and then starts to circulate through again) and later phase ( i.e., as the fluoroscien is eliminated from the body by the kidneys). The test lasts about 30 minutes. Nausea and vomiting are the most common side effects, occurring in about 5% or less of patients. Severe side effects ( e.g., anaphylaxis, death) have been reported but are very rare.
