4mg is a very large dose. I didn't even know that such large tabs were avilable anywhere. The benzodiazepine equivalence chart shows 1 mg Ronhypnol (flunitrazepam) as equivalent to 10 mg diazepam. So 4 mg would equate to something like 40 mg. And four tablets tablets would be 160 mg.
Are you sure such a massive dose is used? I am sure anyone receiving that would have a very sore head the next day and would know all about it but by all accounts the victim never knows what happened or that anything did happen.
