Zyfol 20ml injection contains an active substance of propofol, which belongs to a class of medicines called general anesthetics. General anesthetics are used to cause unconsciousness (sleep) so that surgical operations or other procedures can be performed. They can also be used to sedate you (so that you are sleepy but not completely asleep). Zyfol 20ml injection is used to cause partial or complete reversible loss of consciousness (adult or child over the age of 1 month) so that surgical procedures can be performed. It can also be used to induce sleep in patients (16 years or older) receiving artificial respiration in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Do not take this medication if you are allergic to propofol or its ingredients. Inform your doctor if you are allergic to peanuts or soya, as the medication contains soya oil. Before taking this medication, please inform your doctor, anesthetist, or nurse if you have a history of seizures, high blood fat levels, dehydration, or any other health conditions related to your heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, or if you have experienced prolonged illness or have been diagnosed with mitochondrial disease. Sharing this information with your doctor is vital to ensure your treatment plan is tailored to your unique medical needs and safety.

Uses of Zyfol Injection 20ml
  • Reversible loss of consciousness (General anesthesia)
  • Therapeutic Effects of Zyfol Injection 20ml

    The action of zyfol 20ml 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.

    Interaction of Zyfol Injection 20ml with other drugsInform your doctor about any prescribed medications, over-the-counter medicines, nutritional or vitamin supplements, and herbal products you take or have taken before the treatment. Certain medications may interact with zyfol 20ml and cause undesirable side effects, especially if you are taking the antibiotic rifampicin (for tuberculosis- TB).
