Propofol: Product Information (Page 3 of 3)

HUMAN USER SAFETY

Not for human use. Keep out of reach of children.

Propofol injectable emulsion injection should be managed to prevent the risk of diversion, through such measures as restriction of access and the use of drug accountability procedures appropriate to the clinical setting. Rare cases of self-administration of propofol have been reported, including dose-related fatalities.

Preventive care should be taken to avoid self-administration; for example, use of a guarded needle until the moment of injection is recommended. Symptoms of self-administration may include cardiovascular and/or respiratory depression. Anaphylaxis to propofol may occur during its first use, especially in patients with a history of drug allergy.7 In the event of accidental self-administration, seek medical attention immediately.

Contact of this product with skin, eyes, and clothes should be avoided. If contact occurs, skin and eyes should be liberally flushed with water for 15 minutes. If irritation develops and continues, consult a physician.

Initial arousal following propofol anesthesia can be extremely rapid. Caution should be used at this time in manipulations involving the mouth, such as removing an endotracheal tube.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

The primary side effect of propofol injectable emulsion injection is respiratory depression and apnea. Apnea was observed in 20% of the dog cases in the clinical trial. Apnea was observed in 1.4% of the cat cases in the clinical trial. All apnea cases responded satisfactorily to oxygen supplementation and/or controlled ventilation.

Apnea lasting less than 1 minute in healthy dogs or cats may cause no harm. Animals breathing atmospheric air that become apneic may show signs of cerebral damage after 2 minutes. Animals breathing 100% oxygen that become apneic may not show signs of cerebral damage for 5 to 8 minutes.

Ventricular arrhythmias may occur secondary to hypoxia induced by apnea.

The primary side effect of propofol injectable emulsion injection in cats is paddling during recovery. Paddling was observed in 11% of the cat cases in the clinical trial.

Other transient side effects in dogs or cats are observed infrequently or rarely:

Respiratory: panting, reverse sneezing, cyanosis
Musculoskeletal: paddling during recovery, tremors, tenseness, movements, fasciculations
Cardiovascular: bradycardia, hypotension, cyanosis, tachycardia, premature ventricular contractions
Central Nervous System: excitation, opisthotonus, seizure
Injection Site: pain during injection
Gastrointestinal: emesis/retching
Other: rubbing at face or nose during recovery, vocalization during recovery, chewing or licking the injection site during recovery

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

After a single dose, propofol blood level profiles are characterized by a rapid distribution phase and a rapid elimination phase. The liver is the main site of metabolism with the major portion of metabolites being excreted in urine. No change in pharmacokinetics occurs after multiple daily dosing in dogs. Concomitant medication may affect the pharmacokinetics of either propofol or other medications.

In dogs, propofol injectable emulsion injection has been used in association with acepromazine, atropine, glycopyrrolate, halothane, isoflurane, medetomidine, oxymorphone, and xylazine. No pharmacological incompatibility has been encountered.

In cats, propofol injectable emulsion injection has been used in association with acepromazine, atropine, glycopyrrolate, butorphanol, oxymorphone, xylazine, and halothane. No pharmacological incompatibility has been encountered.
