Propofol is an anesthetic drug used in the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia. It is a short-acting intravenous hypnotic agent that produces a rapid onset of sedation and amnesia. Propofol is commonly used in the operating room, intensive care unit, and emergency department. It is also used for procedural sedation and as an adjunct to regional anesthesia. Propofol is a popular anesthetic drug due to its rapid onset and short duration of action. It is also associated with fewer side effects than other anesthetic drugs. Propofol is manufactured by several companies, including Fresenius Kabi, Hospira, Mylan, and Teva Pharmaceuticals. It is available in a variety of formulations, including emulsions, liposomes, and injectable solutions. Propofol is also available in combination with other drugs, such as midazolam and fentanyl.
