"Bromidol" is a made-up name for that opioid that seems to have been come up with by a user on an internet discussion forum due to the lack of a convenient abbreviation for the compound. It has never been used as the name for that compound in the scientific literature, instead the accepted abbreviation now days seems to be BDPC. Meodipt (talk) 04:30, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of how it is regarded in the literature, Bromidol has been used as the term by the inventor, and is now widely used online as 4-(4-bromophenyl)-4-(dimethylamino)-1-phenylcyclohexanol. If BDPC or the IUPAC should be used if there is a page created, but as it stands, a simple note explaining the additional meaning ought to be added. Not to mention the fact that bromperidol has a Morphine-Rule fulfilling structure (along with many other anticholinergics, admittedly) that I can easily see a misinformed someone thinking is an opioid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.117.96.159 (talk) 01:58, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Bromidol" has now become a common term for 4-(4-bromophenyl)-4-(dimethylamino)-1-phenethylcyclohexanol, an opioid of almost unprecedented strength- roughly 10,000 times more potent than morphine. A 5mg dose of morphine would be equal to .00005mg bromidol, easily putting it in the "chemical weapon" class of opioids. 68.117.96.159
