Rohypnol works by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter in the brain called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which has a calming effect on the central nervous system. Because of its potential for abuse and harmful effects, it is strictly controlled and not widely available for medical use in many parts of the world.
