Propofol Braun Ampoule 50 ML - Intravenous Anesthetic

Propofol Braun 50 ML Ampoule is a high-quality, sterile, oil-in-water emulsion designed for intravenous administration. It is widely used in medical settings for its rapid and effective anesthetic properties.

This medication is primarily indicated for the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in adults and children over 1 month of age.

• Allows for precise control of anesthetic depth.

How to Use:

1. Propofol Braun should only be administered by medical professionals trained in anesthetic techniques and in facilities equipped for airway management and cardiovascular monitoring.
2. The dosage is individualized based on the patient's age, weight, physical status, and the desired depth of anesthesia or sedation.
3. Administer intravenously, typically as a bolus injection for induction or a continuous infusion for maintenance.
4. Ensure strict aseptic technique during preparation and administration to prevent contamination.
5. Monitor vital signs continuously during and after administration.
