Pharmacological properties
Propofol-Novo belongs to the drugs used to administer anesthesia.
Propofol is a short-acting intravenous anesthetic used to put the patient under general (complete) anesthesia. Effective in cases where intensive care is required.
It is also used to maintain the patient in a state of general anesthesia, and also as a sedation drug (sedative half-nap). The speed of onset of general anesthesia from the moment of drug administration is from half a minute to one minute.
The duration of anesthesia depends on the dosage and the treatment that accompanies it. On average, anesthesia with this drug can last from 10 to 60 minutes.
When using this drug as anesthesia, the patient quickly regains consciousness upon awakening, since it is not a barbiturate – the eyes usually open no more than 10 minutes after the start of the awakening procedure.
The mechanism of action of the drug is not well understood. It is not an analgesic.

Indications
