Description
Ketolong Ampoules 3% 1ml. №10
Composition
The active ingredient in Ketolong Ampoules is Ketamine Hydrochloride, a powerful anesthetic agent.
Mechanism of Action
Ketamine Hydrochloride acts as an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, leading to dissociative anesthesia and analgesia.
Pharmacological Properties
Ketamine Hydrochloride exhibits rapid onset of action, short duration of effect, and minimal cardiovascular and respiratory depression compared to other anesthetics.
Indications for Use
Ketolong Ampoules are indicated for the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia, as well as for providing sedation for short-term procedures such as minor surgeries or diagnostic interventions.
Contraindications
- Patients with a known hypersensitivity to ketamine should not use this product.
- It is contraindicated in patients with severe hypertension, heart disease, or a history of psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia.

Usage Instructions
Ketolong Ampoules are for intravenous or intramuscular use only. The dosage should be individualized based on the patient’s weight, health status, and the procedure being performed. Administration should be done by a trained healthcare professional in a controlled clinical setting.
Benefits Compared to Analogues
Ketolong Ampoules offer rapid onset of action and recovery, making them suitable for short procedures. The minimal respiratory depression and hemodynamic stability distinguish ketamine from other anesthetics, especially in patients with compromised cardiovascular function.
Suitable Patient Groups
Ketolong Ampoules can be used in a wide range of patient populations, including pediatric and elderly patients. However, special attention should be given to dosing adjustments in these groups to prevent adverse effects.
