Propofol 1% | 10mg | 20mL Injectable SDV

Product Overview:

Propofol 1% Injectable is a short-acting intravenous anesthetic agent commonly used for the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia. Each 20mL vial contains propofol at a concentration of 10mg/mL, which provides a rapid onset of sedation and anesthesia, making it a preferred choice in a variety of medical settings, including surgery and intensive care.

Key Features:

1. Concentration and Volume:

• The product contains 10mg of propofol per milliliter in a 20mL vial, allowing for precise dosing tailored to the patient's needs.

• Propofol is known for its rapid onset of action, typically within 30 seconds, and a short duration of effect, allowing for quick adjustments in anesthesia levels during procedures.

• The use of propofol results in a smooth induction of anesthesia, with minimal excitatory phenomena, ensuring patient comfort and ease of transition into unconsciousness.

• Due to its short half-life, propofol can be easily titrated to achieve the desired depth of anesthesia or sedation, making it suitable for both short and prolonged procedures.

• Patients typically experience a smooth and rapid recovery from propofol, with minimal hangover effects, allowing for faster discharge times and improved patient throughput in outpatient settings.

Contraindications and Precautions:

• Contraindications: Known hypersensitivity to propofol or any of its components, including allergies to soy or egg products.
