Description

Propofol Sdv 10 mg/mL 50 mL is a sterile, nonpyrogenic injectable emulsion designed for intravenous administration. Propofol, the active ingredient, is a general anesthetic that induces a state of hypnosis and anesthesia for various surgical or medical procedures. The formulation is slightly soluble in water, which is why it is created as a white, oil-in-water emulsion, ensuring stability and effective delivery during intravenous use.

This medication is used primarily for the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in adults and pediatric patients. It can be administered for sedation during procedures or for intensive care unit patients requiring prolonged sedation. The 50 mL single-dose glass flip-top vial ensures proper sterility and ease of use, with the vial specifically designed for one-time administration to prevent contamination and ensure patient safety.

The formulation provides rapid onset and deep anesthesia, with effects that can be quickly reversed upon cessation of administration. Due to its high potency and rapid clearance, propofol is preferred in surgical settings where quick recovery is desired. It is also used as a sedative in critical care environments, ensuring patients remain comfortable without prolonged sedation effects.
