propofol

A short-acting intravenous sedative and hypnotic agent used for the induction and maintenance of general anaesthesia. Known for its distinct milky white appearance, it works primarily by enhancing the effect of inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain. Since its introduction in the 1980s, it has become the most widely used anaesthetic in the world due to its rapid onset and clear recovery.
