Product Introduction

Popoglan 200mg injection contains propofol, a general anaesthetic. General anaesthetics are used to induce unconsciousness (sleep) to enable surgical operations or other procedures. They may also be used for sedation (drowsiness without complete unconsciousness). Popoglan 200mg injection is used to induce partial or complete reversible loss of consciousness in adults and children over 1 month of age so that surgical procedures can be performed. It can also be used to induce sleep in patients aged 16 years or older who are receiving mechanical ventilation in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Do not use this medication if you are allergic to propofol or any of its ingredients. Inform your doctor if you are allergic to peanuts or soya, as the medication contains soya oil. Before using this medication, inform your doctor, anaesthetist, or nurse if you have a history of seizures, high blood fat levels, dehydration, or any other health conditions affecting your heart, lungs, kidneys, or liver, if you have experienced prolonged illness, or if you have been diagnosed with mitochondrial disease. Providing this information to your doctor is important to ensure your treatment plan is tailored to your individual medical needs and safety.

Uses

Reversible loss of consciousness (General anesthesia)

How it works

The action of popoglan 200mg like all general anesthetics, needs to be better understood. However, it is thought to produce loss of consciousness by potentiating the actions of certain brain chemicals (neurotransmitter GABA) through the specific receptors (ligand-gated GABA A receptors) and decreasing the flow of chloride ions across the nerve cells required to maintain alertness.

How to Use

This medicine is given only in a hospital set up by a trained healthcare provider. It will be given to you as an injection into a vein, usually in the back of your hand or forearm. Your doctor will decide your most apt dosage based on age, body weight, and physical circumstances.

Side Effects

Side effects are unwanted symptoms caused by medicines. Even though all medicines cause side effects, not everyone gets them. Serious Allergic reactions - symptoms of difficulty in breathing, swelling of the eyelids, face, or lips, rash or itching (especially affecting your whole body) Stress cardiomyopathy - symptoms of chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, or an irregular heartbeat, especially if you are stressed. Common Injection site pain Low blood pressure Changes in your breathing pattern Slow heartbeat Nausea and Vomiting Headache Withdrawal symptoms - unusual behavior, sweating, shaking, and feeling anxious (in children) Flushing of the skin (in children)

Expert Tips

Please inform your doctor if you are on a sodium-controlled diet or have allergies to peanuts or soya, as popoglan 200mg contains these components. If the injection is administered over extended periods in intensive care, your doctor may prescribe a zinc supplement to prevent a decrease in your zinc levels. Before starting the treatment, it is essential to inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of these components or have any concerns. It is essential to trust your medical team and communicate openly with them. Popoglan 200mg injection is a powerful anesthetic used to induce and maintain anesthesia, and while it is generally safe, it is crucial to disclose your complete medical history, allergies, and any medications you are taking to your healthcare provider. Follow their instructions diligently, and be sure to inform them about any unusual sensations or discomfort during the procedure. It is natural to feel apprehensive, but focusing on the expertise of your medical team and openly communicating your concerns with your doctor can help ensure a safer and more comfortable experience.
