Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards.Propofol is approved for induction and maintenance of paediatric anesthesia and sedation in children less than 3 years of age. The mechanism of action involves interaction with gamma-aminobutyric acid A receptor. Rapid effect and fewer side effects like postoperative nausea makes propofol a popular intravenous anesthetic agents.
