It also has sedative properties, and is used in the induction of anesthesia in combination with fentanyl.

The side effects of fluanisone include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, and blurred vision. It can also cause extrapyramidal symptoms, which are movement disorders that can include tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia. In rare cases, it can cause neuroleptic malignant syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by fever, altered mental status, muscle rigidity, and autonomic dysfunction.
