Propofol
The recent death of Michael Jackson presumably from
the abuse of propofol and the emerging knowledge of
propofol's addictive qualities have spurred great interest
in this anesthesia staple. My patients now ask more
specifically about what anesthetic they are going to
receive. When they hear the word propofol, or Diprivan,
many recoil in fear. Morbid jokes are exchanged about
its morbid qualities in incompetent hands. But after a
brief explanation of the effects and versatility of
propofol, most patients are intrigued by the expectation
of receiving a "deadly" drug. So below is a list of links
with as much information as possible about propofol,
and hoping patients will be informed and calmed by this
knowledge. I have a separate page just for propofol
addiction. This page has more information about the
drug.

manufacturer AstraZeneca. It is in pdf format in tiny type.
FDA Information from the Food and Drug Administration
