Indications
DIPRIVAN (Propofol) Injectable Emulsion is an intravenous sedative-hypnotic agent for use in the induction and maintenance of anesthesia or sedation.
Safety Information
DIPRIVAN Injectable Emulsion is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to DIPRIVAN Injectable Emulsion or any of its components, and also in patients with allergies to eggs, egg products, soybeans or soy products. Use of DIPRIVAN Injectable Emulsion has been associated with both fatal and life-threatening anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reactions, as well as Propofol Infusion Syndrome. For general anesthesia or MAC sedation, DIPRIVAN Injectable Emulsion should be administered only by persons trained in the administration of general anesthesia and not involved in the conduct of the surgical/diagnostic procedure.
For sedation of intubated, mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU, DIPRIVAN Injectable Emulsion should be administered only by persons skilled in the management of critically ill patients and trained in cardiovascular resuscitation and airway management. Sedated patients should be continuously monitored. Strict aseptic technique must always be maintained during handling.
DIPRIVAN Injectable Emulsion is a single access parenteral product. Failure to use aseptic technique has been associated with microbial contamination of the product, including fever, infection/sepsis, other life-threatening illness and/or death. There have been reports, in the literature and other public sources, of the transmission of bloodborne pathogens (such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV) from unsafe injection practices, and use of Propofol vials intended for single use on multiple persons. DIPRIVAN Injectable Emulsion vials are never to be accessed more than once or used on more than one person.

Important Safety Information
Using NAROPIN beyond recommended doses to increase motor block or duration of sensory block may negate its favorable cardiovascular advantages, in the event that an inadvertent intravascular injection occurs.
NAROPIN may be associated with adverse reactions which are characteristic of those associated with other amide-type local anesthetics. In clinical trials, side effects were mild and transient and may reflect the procedures, patient health status, and/or other medications used.
Adverse events reported at a rate of ≥5%: hypotension, nausea, vomiting, bradycardia, fever, pain, postoperative complications, anemia, paresthesia, headache, pruritus, and back pain.
There have been adverse event reports of chondrolysis in patients receiving intra-articular infusions of local anesthetics following arthroscopic and other surgical procedures. NAROPIN is not approved for this use.
