Narcoten is used as an inhaled anesthetic in surgical procedures. It works by temporarily depressing the central nervous system, which helps in losing consciousness and reducing the feeling of pain during surgery. It contains an active ingredient known as halothane, which is a volatile substance used by inhalation and is characterized by its ability to temporarily reduce blood pressure and heart rate, which facilitates control of the surgical condition.
Narcoten is prescribed for operations that require a bleeding-free surgical field. It should be used under close medical supervision to determine the appropriate dose according to age and health condition. Vital signs should also be monitored during use to avoid any complications such as heart rhythm disturbances or respiratory depression.
