522.2005 Propofol Injection. Specifications: The drug is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, oil-in-water emulsion containing 10 milligrams of propofol per milliliter. Conditions of use: Dogs Amount: The drug is administered by intravenous injection as follows: For induction of general anesthesia without the use of preanesthetics the dosage is 5.5 to 7.0 milligrams per kilogram (2.5 to 3.2 milligrams per pound); for the maintenance of general anesthesia without the use of preanesthetics the dosage is 1.1 to 3.3 milligrams per kilogram (0.5 to 1.5 milligrams per pound). The use of preanesthetic medication reduces propofol dose requirements.

Cats Amount: The drug is administered by intravenous injection as follows: For induction of general anesthesia without the use of preanesthetics the dosage is 8.0 to 13.2 milligrams per kilogram (3.6 to 6.0 milligrams per pound). For the maintenance of general anesthesia without the use of preanesthetics the dosage is 1.1 to 4.4 milligrams per kilogram (0.5 to 2.0 milligrams per pound). The use of preanesthetic medication reduces propofol dose requirements. Indications: The drug is indicated for use as an anesthetic as follows: As a single injection to provide general anesthesia for short procedures, for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia using incremental doses to effect, and for induction of general anesthesia where maintenance is provided by inhalant anesthetics. Limitations: Adequate data concerning safe use of propofol in pregnant and breeding cats have not been obtained. Doses may need adjustment for geriatric or debilitated patients.
