Zolazepam (Flupyrazapon) is a pyrazolodiazepinone derivative structurally related to the benzodiazepine drugs, which is used as an anaesthetic for a wide range of animals in veterinary medicine. Zolazepam is usually administered in combination with other drugs such as the NMDA antagonist Tiletamine or the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist Xylazine, depending on what purpose it is being used for.

Zolazepam, in combination with Tiletamine, has been used in the tranquilization of wild animals, such as gorillas and polar bears, and has been found to be in terms of reduced side-effects superior to ketamine.
