Ethoheptazine (Zactane, Equagesic) is an opioid analgesic from the phenazepine family. It was invented in the 1950s^[1] and is related to other drugs such as proheptazine.^[2]

Ethoheptazine produces similar effects to other opioids, including analgesia, sedation, dizziness and nausea.^[3] It was sold by itself as Zactane, and is still available as a combination product with acetylsalicylic acid and meprobamate as Equagesic, which is used for the treatment of conditions where both pain and anxiety are present.^[4][1]
