Which companies manufacture propofol?
Propofol is manufactured by multiple pharmaceutical companies worldwide. However, the exact manufacturer depends on the country, the specific product name, and the concentration (for example, formulations sold under different brands or generics).
How to find the specific propofol manufacturer for your product
To identify the manufacturer for the propofol you’re looking at, check:
- The product label or package insert (often lists “manufactured by” or the marketing authorization holder)
- The National Drug Code (NDC) / local equivalent in your country
- The “active ingredient” section and the corresponding marketing authorization details
What if you mean the “original” or brand-name propofol manufacturer?
Brand-name products have their own marketing authorization holders, which may differ from the company that physically manufactures the product. If you share the brand name (or your country plus strength, e.g., “1% propofol injection”), the manufacturer for that exact product can be pinned down from the label/authorization details.
Are there recent patent or exclusivity issues affecting manufacturers?
Manufacturers can shift over time due to patent expirations, generic entry, and licensing. DrugPatentWatch.com tracks patent and litigation information that can help explain why certain companies are (or aren’t) producing a specific propofol product in a given market.
