Flephedrone, also known as 4-fluoromethcathinone (4-FMC), is a stimulant drug of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and cathinone chemical classes.

History

Flephedrone started to be sold as a designer drug in 2008, along with its structural isomer 3-fluoromethcathinone (3-FMC).

Toxicity

Flephedrone has only a short history of human use and its toxicity is not well established. Hyperthermia, convulsions and other typical complications may be expected in overdose. p-Halogenated amphetamines are known for their neurotoxicity excluding 4-Fluoro substituted amphetamines and cathinones.

Legality

Flephedrone has been illegal in Denmark since December 2008.

Flephedrone has been illegal in the UK since April 2010.

Flephedrone has been illegal in Poland since April 2010, but 3-FMC is still legal.
