Zipeprol is a centrally acting cough suppressant which acts as a local anaesthetic and may also have mucolytic, antihistamine-like and anticholinergic properties.[1] It is sold with several brand names such as Zinolta and Respilene. It is not available in the United States or Canada and has been discontinued in Europe. It is still available in some countries in Asia and South America.

Zipeprol has been used recreationally and is heavily abused in Korea, mainly for the hallucinations it produces. Such abuse has become an issue due to the seizures and various neurological side effects it causes at high dosages. Many fatalities have been reported.[2]
