In countries where this drug is used, it is used for treatment of severe cases of [[insomnia|sleeping problems]], and in some countries as a [[preanesthetic agent]].<ref name="NSW-PSB"/><ref name=Japan/> These were also the uses for which it was originally studied.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Mattila MA, Larni HM | title = Flunitrazepam: a review of its pharmacological properties and therapeutic use | journal = Drugs | volume = 20 | issue = 5 | pages = 353–374 | date = November 1980 | pmid = 6108205 | doi = 10.2165/00003495-198020050-00002 | s2cid = 25151953 }}</ref>

It has also been administered as a concurrent dose for patients that are taking [[ketamine]]. Rohypnol lowers the side effects of the anesthetic (ketamine), resulting in less confusion in awakening states, less negative influence on pulse rate, and fewer fluctuations in blood pressure.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Freuchen I, Ostergaard J, Kühl JB, Mikkelsen BO | title = Reduction of psychotomimetic side effects of Ketalar (ketamine) by Rohypnol (flunitrazepam).
