3 preparations of Propofol

Propofol has 3 products available in market. They each contain different preservatives.

  • The Hospira brand has Benzyl Alcohol,
  • the Teva product has Sodium Metasulfite, and
  • the APP product contains Edetate Disodium

Clinical significance: Some patients have allergies to sulfites so using the Teva product could be of concern in these instances.
