Menitazene (methylnitazene) is a benzimidazole derivative which has opioid effects and has been sold as a designer drug. It is considerably less potent than most of the "nitazene" group of opioids which have been sold on the illicit market, but still has around ten times the potency of morphine. [1] [2] [3] [4]
