It is a colourless fluid supplied in an amber coloured glass bottle. It is given by your anaesthetist using a vaporiser specifically designed for use with PIRAMAL DESFLURANE TM . WHAT PIRAMAL DESFLURANE TM IS USED FOR PIRAMAL DESFLURANE TM is a special mixture of anaesthetic drug used for maintaining heavy sleep during surgery. It is administered by inhalation by your anaesthetist. The medication produces anaesthesia, a loss of consciousness and pain sensations during the surgery. PIRAMAL DESFLURANE TM is washed out quickly from the body via the lungs so that recovery from the anaesthetic is rapid once the drug has been stopped.

AUSTRALIAN PRODUCT INFORMATION – PIRAMAL DESFLURANE TM (DESFLURANE) 1 . NAME OF THE MEDICINE Desflurane 2 . QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION The active ingredient of PIRAMAL DESFLURANE is 1 mL/mL desflurane. List of excipients: None 3 . PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Liquid for inhalation 4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1. THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS PIRAMAL DESFLURANE TM is indicated as an inhalation agent for maintenance of anaesthesia. DESFLURANE is not recommended for mask induction of anaesthesia because of a high incidence of moderate to severe upper airway adverse events. 4.2. DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION DESFLURANE is administered by inhalation. The concentration of DESFLURANE should be administered by persons trained in the administration of general anaesthesia and delivered from a vaporiser specifically designed and designated for use with DESFLURANE (see 4.4 SPECIAL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR USE). The vapour pressure of DESFLURANE at room temperature (about 700 mm Hg) precludes its use in commonly-used agent-specific vaporisers as such vaporisers cannot provide a stable and predictable delivered concentration. Unlike agent-specific vaporisers, DESFLURANE requires a vaporiser which utilises a heated sump (enclosure containing liquid desflurane) to prevent condensation, which could occur should the temperature in the sump fall below 22.8°C at 1 atmosphere pressure (desflurane boiling point). To power the heating elements, the vaporiser must be connected to an electrical source. A vaporiser designed for use with DESFLURANE must also include a filling port compatible with the valve on the DESFLURANE bottle. _PREMEDICATION _ The premedication should be chosen to suit the individual requirements of the patient. Studies to date with patients scheduled to be anaesthetised have frequently received IV premedication such as opioids and/or benzodiazepines, and these have not shown an effect of premedication on respiratory tract reactions associated with inhalational induction of anaesthesia. _DOSAGE _ The minimum al Soma hati kamili
