Drug introduction

Etomidate is a drug used for general anesthesia. It is an intravenous anesthetic commonly used to induce anesthesia during surgery or other medical procedures. Etomidate induces anesthesia quickly and for a short duration, allowing doctors to better control the depth of anesthesia. This medication is usually given to patients through an intravenous injection.

The use of etomidate in Hong Kong requires a doctor's prescription and should be used by professional medical personnel in an appropriate medical environment. During etomidate treatment, patients may experience some common side effects, such as hypotension, respiratory depression, etc. Therefore, when using etomidate, doctors closely monitor patients' vital signs to ensure safety.

Always use etomidate according to your doctor's recommendations and instructions, and pay close attention to any adverse reactions during use. If you have any questions or concerns, seek help from a medical professional immediately.
