Propofol brand name?

What brand name is propofol sold under?

Propofol is most commonly associated with the brand name Diprivan (made by AstraZeneca in many markets). [1]

What other brand names might you see for propofol?

Depending on the country and manufacturer, propofol may be sold under other brand names besides Diprivan. The exact brand name can vary by location and product formulation (for example, strength and packaging).

Why the brand name matters for switching or shortages

Because propofol products can differ by manufacturer and presentation, confirming the brand name (and concentration/strength) is important when switching due to pharmacy substitutions or shortages. The active ingredient is propofol, but the product label is what determines what’s actually dispensed.

How to check the exact brand name where you live

The quickest way is to look at your prescription bottle or ask the pharmacy to confirm the brand and concentration (for example, 10 mg/mL). If you want, tell me your country and the label strength, and I can help match which brand name is typically used there.
