Neorof 1 % Description
Neorof Injection is used to administer general anaesthesia. Its active ingredient is propofol. It is issued only by an anaesthetist at the time of major surgeries to render the patient unconscious an
d safely carry out any surgical procedure. Neorof can also maintain the anaesthesia for a longer duration during surgery, known as maintenance. In some cases, such as when patients need additional support to breathe in the form of a ventilator or tube, a general anaesthetic agent is required to ensure the effective functioning of the device. Sometimes for minor procedures, Neorof can be used only to provide pain relief while the patient is conscious. This is an intravenous injection and is only administered by trained medical professionals.
