Which companies make propofol injection (generic and brand products)?
Propofol injection is manufactured by multiple pharmaceutical companies, including makers of both branded and generic versions. The exact manufacturer depends on the product’s label, strength (e.g., 10 mg/mL), and package type (e.g., single-use vial or pre-filled syringe).
To identify the manufacturer for a specific propofol injection product, check the “Manufactured for” / “Distributed by” section on the U.S. product label or the listing in the prescribing information.
How to find the exact manufacturer for the propofol you’re using
If you’re looking for a specific propofol injection NDC (National Drug Code), the fastest path is:
1) find the NDC on the vial/box or pharmacy system listing, then
2) cross-check that NDC to the label’s “manufactured for” or “distributed by” company name.
Because propofol is widely available as both brand and generics, manufacturer names can change by NDC and by supply lot.
Are there specific manufacturers tied to shortages or backorders?
Propofol shortages have occurred in past years, and during those periods hospitals often receive whatever product is available under the relevant NDCs. That can mean the “manufacturer” a facility ends up using differs from what clinicians expected for a given brand name, even when the formulation is similar.
If you tell me the country (e.g., US) and the product details (brand name or NDC), I can help you narrow to the manufacturer(s) tied to that exact injection.

Quick questions to pinpoint the right manufacturers
To list the correct propofol injection manufacturers, I need one of the following:
- the brand name (if any), or
- the NDC from the vial/box, or
- the country (US/EU/etc.) and the strength/packaging.
Reply with any of those and I’ll narrow it to the applicable manufacturers.
