Consult your doctor first:

Even if the salt is the same, your doctor can confirm if the substitute is right for your condition, dosage, and health history.

Watch out for allergies or reactions:

Some people may react differently to certain brands due to inactive ingredients. If you notice any side effects, inform your doctor immediately.

Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

Neorof Injection is used in the management of general anaesthesia. The detailed uses of Neorof Injection are as follows:

  • Induction of General Anaesthesia: Neorof Injection is commonly used to induce unconsciousness (sleep) in patients before major surgical procedures, allowing them to undergo surgery without pain or awareness.
  • Maintenance of General Anaesthesia: During longer surgeries, Neorof Injection can be continuously administered to maintain a stable anaesthetised state, ensuring the patient remains unconscious and free from distress.
  • Sedation in Mechanically Ventilated Patients: Neorof Injection is used in critically ill (ICU) patients who are on ventilators to provide continuous sedation, helping them stay calm and tolerate life-support measures.

Medicinal Benefits

Neorof Injection belongs to a class of drugs known as 'general anesthetic,' containing Propofol, primarily used in giving anesthesia for major surgical procedures. It allows the procedures to be carried out without pain and distress. It works by causing loss of consciousness, which is reversible. It generally slows down the brain and central nervous system, which is the conscious center. It is also used in people on a ventilator or who need critical care to sedate the patient.
