1. What is Propofol Lipuro and what is it used for

Propofol Lipuro belongs to a group of medicines called general anesthetics. General anesthetics are used to produce unconsciousness (sleep) so that surgical operations or other procedures can be performed. They can also be used to sedate you (to make you drowsy but not completely asleep).

Propofol Lipuro is used for:

  • inducing general anesthesia in adults and children over 1 month of age,
  • sedating adult patients during diagnostic and surgical procedures for a short period of time, alone or in combination with local or regional anesthesia,

inducing sedation in adults and children over 1 month of age during diagnostic and surgical procedures

Doctor consultation

Not sure if this medicine is right for you?

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. What you need to know before you start using Propofol Lipuro

What you need to know before you start using Propofol Lipuro

Do not use Propofol Lipuro

  • If you are allergic to propofol, soy, peanut or any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • For maintenance of general anesthesia or sedation in diagnostic and surgical procedures in children
  • For sedation in intensive care.

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you start receiving Propofol Lipuro.

Special care should be taken

  • if you have severe head injuries,
  • if you have mitochondrial disease, if you have a disorder in which your body does not handle fats properly,
  • if you have any other health problem that requires great caution in the use of fat emulsions,
  • if your blood volume is too low (hypovolemia),
  • if you have low protein levels in your blood (hypoproteinemia),
  • if you are very weak or if you have heart, kidney, or liver problems,
  • if you have high pressure in the skull,
  • if you have any respiratory problems,
  • if you have epilepsy,
  • if you are undergoing procedures where spontaneous movements are especially undesirable.

Tell your doctor if you have any of these diseases or disorders.

If you are receiving other lipids by infusion in your vein at the same time, your doctor will pay special attention to your total daily fat intake.

Propofol will be administered to you by a doctor specializing in anesthesia or intensive care. You will be constantly monitored during anesthesia and the recovery period.

If you experience signs of the so-called "propofol infusion syndrome" (see section 4, "Possible side effects", "You should call a doctor immediately if any of the following effects occur") your doctor will immediately stop the administration of propofol.

See also in the section "Driving and using machines" the precautions you should take after using propofol.

Children and adolescents

The use of Propofol Lipuro is not recommended in newborns.

Other medicines and Propofol Lipuro

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken or may have to take any other medicines.

Propofol has been used effectively for different regional anesthesia techniques, which numb only a part of the body (epidural and spinal anesthesia).

It has also been shown to be safe in combination with

  • medicines you receive before an operation,
  • other medicines, such as muscle relaxants,
  • anesthetic medicines that can be inhaled,
  • analgesics.

However, your doctor may give you lower doses of propofol if general anesthesia or sedation is needed as a supplement to regional anesthesia techniques.

Your doctor should be aware that the administration of propofol together with other medicines that have an inhibitory effect on the central nervous system may increase the effects of propofol. Special attention should be paid if you are receiving an antibiotic containing rifampicin at the same time - you may develop a deep drop in blood pressure.

Your doctor may reduce the dose if you are also receiving treatment with valproate (an anticonvulsant).

Use ofPropofol Lipuro and alcohol

Your doctor will inform you about alcohol consumption before and after using Propofol Lipuro.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine.

Propofol Lipuro should not be used during pregnancy unless it is absolutely necessary. It crosses the placenta and can depress the baby's vital functions.

However, propofol can be used during an induced abortion.

If you are breastfeeding, you should stop and discard breast milk for 24 hours after receiving Propofol Lipuro. Studies in breastfeeding women have shown that propofol passes into breast milk in small amounts.

Driving and using machines

Do not drive or operate tools or machines for a period of time after receiving an injection or infusion of Propofol Lipuro.

Your doctor will tell you

  • if you should be accompanied when leaving,
  • when you can drive and use machines again,
  • the use of other sedative medicines (e.g. tranquilizers, potent analgesics, alcohol).

Propofol Lipuro contains sodium and soybean oil

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per 20 ml; i.e. it is essentially "sodium-free".

Propofol Lipuro contains soybean oil. Do not use this medicine if you are allergic to peanut or soy.

Medicine questions

Started taking the medicine and have questions?

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

3. How to use Propofol Lipuro

Propofol Lipuro will only be administered by persons who have received training in the administration of anesthesia or by specially trained doctors in a hospital or a properly equipped day treatment unit.

Posology

The dose you receive will vary, depending on your age, body weight, and physical condition. Your doctor will administer the correct dose to start anesthesia or to achieve the desired level of sedation, by carefully observing your responses and vital signs (pulse, blood pressure, breathing, etc.).

Your doctor will observe the maximum administration time if necessary.

Propofol Lipuro will only be administered for a maximum of 1 hour.

Method of administration

You will receive Propofol Lipuro by intravenous injection or infusion, i.e. through a small needle or a small tube placed in one of your veins. If administered by infusion, it can be diluted beforehand.

Your circulation and breathing will be constantly monitored while you receive the injection or infusion.

If you have received more Propofol Lipuro than you should

This is unlikely to happen because the doses you receive are carefully controlled.

However, if you accidentally receive an overdose, this could lead to depression of cardiac and respiratory function. In this case, your doctor will immediately use the necessary treatment.

If you have any further questions about the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
