Leaflet PROPOFOL SANDOZ 20mg / ml injection / infusion emulsion
Propofol is a general anesthetic used for the induction and maintenance of anesthesia during surgical procedures or other medical interventions. It acts quickly, inducing a state of unconsciousness and muscle relaxation.
The medication is administered intravenously under the strict supervision of an anesthesiologist. The dosage is adjusted based on the patient's weight and the duration of the procedure.
Side effects may include low blood pressure, respiratory depression, nausea, or pain at the injection site. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions or other complications may occur, requiring immediate medical intervention.
Patients should inform their doctor about any other medications being used or pre-existing conditions, such as respiratory diseases or allergies, to ensure the safe use of propofol.
