Thiopental Epico injection is used as a fast-acting anesthetic administered intravenously at the beginning of surgery to facilitate surgical sleep. It is also used in some emergency cases to control severe convulsions or epileptic seizures that do not respond to other medications. The drug works by calming brain activity and temporarily reducing consciousness, making it useful in rapid anesthesia procedures. It is characterized by its strong and rapid effect, but it does not last for a long period, so it is often used with other medications to maintain anesthesia.
Thiopental Epico should only be given under the supervision of a specialist physician and in an environment equipped with blood pressure and breathing monitoring devices, as the drug may cause a sharp drop in blood pressure or slow breathing. It should be used with caution, especially in elderly patients or those with heart or liver problems.
