Propofol Addiction

What is Propofol?

Propofol is a substance that reduces anxiety and tension, and can also promote relaxation, sleep or loss of consciousness. Propofol produces a loss of awareness for short diagnostic tests and surgical procedures, sleep at the beginning of surgery, and supplements other types of general anesthetics.

Propofol is a powerful sedative given intravenously to induce and maintain anesthesia or sedation during surgery and certain medical tests and procedures. Medical supervision is required to administer and monitoring is required when administering Prpopofol. A special procedure is required to administer Prpopofol to reduce the risk of bacterial contamination. Contamination causes individuals to experience fever, chills, and body aches.
