Description

Diprivan (Propofol) Injectable Emulsion, USP is a sterile, nonpyrogenic emulsion designed for intravenous administration. It contains 10 mg/mL of propofol, an anesthetic agent commonly used for the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia. Propofol acts by depressing the central nervous system, facilitating sedation and promoting a controlled state of unconsciousness.

This emulsion is supplied in a 50 mL vial and is intended for use in healthcare settings under the supervision of trained professionals. Propofol induces a rapid onset of anesthesia and a short duration of action, allowing for quick recovery after the procedure is completed. It is frequently utilized for both short-term and long-term anesthesia management, depending on the patient's clinical needs.

Due to its potent anesthetic properties, Diprivan requires careful monitoring of vital signs during administration. It is important to adjust the dosage to individual patient requirements, ensuring optimal sedation while minimizing the risks of adverse effects such as respiratory depression or hypotension.
