Thiopental is a short-acting sedative drug commonly used for induction of anesthesia and control of epileptic seizures before surgery. It produces sedative and hypnotic effects by enhancing the effects of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid. Thiopental acts rapidly and is of short duration, making it useful in situations where rapid entry and exit from anesthesia is required. While using thiopental, doctors will monitor the patient's breathing and heart rate to ensure safety and effectiveness. This medicine may cause side effects such as hypotension and respiratory depression and should be used under professional medical supervision. In Hong Kong, thiopental is usually used by medical professionals in hospitals or operating theaters to ensure patient safety and comfort. Patients should inform their healthcare provider immediately if they have any questions or discomfort.
Instructions for use: Please have medical professionals inject the drug in a medical facility. Usually injected intravenously, the appearance of the drug needs to be checked before use. Turbid or precipitated solutions should be avoided. Pay attention to the speed when injecting, as too fast may cause hypotension. The patient's condition needs to be closely monitored during use to deal with possible adverse reactions.
Dosage Guidelines: The starting dose for adults is 3-5 mg per kilogram of body weight, with a maximum dose of 500 mg per dose. The dosage for children is determined based on weight and condition, and a physician's guidance is required. The dose may be adjusted based on patient response but the maximum dose should not be exceeded. Patients should use it under the supervision of a medical professional and should not adjust dosage or frequency on their own.

If you require anesthesia during pregnancy, please inform your physician so that he or she can assess the risks and provide appropriate advice. In any case, use Thiopental only with your physician's approval and strictly follow your physician's prescription instructions.
