Propofol slows the activity of the brain and nervous system, making it effective for inducing and maintaining sleep during general anesthesia for surgery or other medical procedures. It is used in both adults and children 2 months and older. Additionally, propofol is used to sedate critically ill patients who require a mechanical ventilator (breathing machine) to assist with breathing.
Get emergency medical help if you have any signs of an allergic reaction to propofol: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Long-term use of propofol can lead to a syndrome called Propfol Infusion Syndrome, which may result in death.

Common propofol side effects may include:
The human brain works with signals that come from tiny molecules called neurotransmitters. One important neurotransmitter is GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), which acts like the brain’s brake system. When GABA is active, it slows everything down, making you feel sleepy, relaxed, and unaware of pain. Once propofol injectable is injected, it spreads through the bloodstream and enters the brain. The liver then breaks it down, and the kidneys help remove it from the body.
You should not receive propofol if you are allergic to it. Tell your doctor if you have allergies to eggs, egg products, soybeans, or soy products.
To make sure this medicine is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
Anesthesia medicine may affect brain development in a child under 3, or an unborn baby whose mother receives this medicine during late pregnancy. These effects may be more likely when the anesthesia is used for 3 hours or longer, or used for repeated procedures. Effects on brain development could cause learning or behavior problems later in life.
