Description

DIPRIVAN® (Propofol) Injectable Emulsion, USP, is a sterile and nonpyrogenic formulation designed for intravenous administration. Each milliliter of this emulsion contains 10 mg of propofol, a short-acting sedative-hypnotic agent used for the induction and maintenance of anesthesia or sedation. This product is packaged in 10 mL vials, and each box contains 10 vials, ensuring adequate supply for medical procedures.

Propofol, the active ingredient in DIPRIVAN®, is known for its rapid onset and short duration of action, allowing for precise control over the depth of anesthesia. The inclusion of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) in the formulation acts as a stabilizing agent, maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of the emulsion over time.

DIPRIVAN®'s sterile and nonpyrogenic nature ensures it is free from contaminants that could cause infections or adverse reactions. This high standard of sterility is crucial for intravenous medications, which must be safe for direct administration into the bloodstream. The emulsion's smooth consistency facilitates easy administration, enhancing the efficiency of medical procedures.

Its ability to provide rapid and controllable anesthesia makes it a preferred choice among anesthesiologists. The product's 10 mL vials are convenient for dosing, allowing for flexibility in administering the precise amount needed for each patient. DIPRIVAN®'s formulation and packaging contribute significantly to its effectiveness and safety in anesthesia management.
