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.[1]

Ethoheptazine produces similar effects to other opioids, including analgesia, sedation, dizziness and nausea.[1] 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.[1][1]
