Description
|
Rolicyclidine (PCPy) is a dissociative anesthetic drug with hallucinogenic and sedative effects. Due to its similarity in effects to PCP, PCPy was placed into the Schedule I list of illegal drugs in the 1970s, although it has never been widely abused and is now little known. |
| Indication |
Rolicyclidine has anesthetic properties and can induce a sedative effect. |
| Pharmacology |
Rolicyclidine is similar in effects to phencyclidine but is slightly less potent and has less stimulant effects. Instead it acts by inducing a sedative effect described as being somewhat similar to a barbiturate, but with additional PCP-like dissociative, anaesthetic and hallucinogenic effects. |
