Propofol injectable emulsion is an anesthetic injection for use in dogs and cats as follows: 1. As a single injection to provide general anesthesia for short procedures. 2. For induction and maintenance of general anesthesia using incremental doses to effect. 3. For induction of general anesthesia where maintenance is provided by inhalant anesthetics. Induction of general anesthesia will usually be observed within 30 to 60 seconds after the end of administration (administration should take 60 to 90 seconds). The doses for induction and maintenance vary depending upon species and preanesthetics. The duration of anesthesia varies depending upon species, dose, and preanesthetics. In dogs, the duration of anesthesia following the recommended induction dose (5.5 to 7.0 mg/kg without premedication) is generally 5 to 7 minutes. The duration of anesthesia after maintenance doses varies from 2 to 6 minutes following 1.1 mg/kg to 6 to 10 minutes following 3.3 mg/kg. Full standing recovery is generally observed within 10 to 20 minutes after the end of anesthesia, regardless of the duration of anesthesia. Recovery may be delayed in sighthounds or if preanesthetics are administered. In cats, the duration of anesthesia following the recommended induction dose (8.0 to 13.2 mg/kg without premedication) is generally 5 to 12 minutes. The duration of anesthesia after maintenance doses varies from 5 to 7 minutes following 1.1 mg/kg to 12 to 18 minutes following 4.4 mg/kg. Full standing recovery is generally observed within 30 to 45 minutes after the end of anesthesia, regardless of the duration of anesthesia. Recovery may be delayed if preanesthetics are administered.
