PRESCRIPTION DRUG
Sevoflurane is indicated for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in adult and pediatric patients for inpatient and outpatient surgery. Sevoflurane should be administered only by persons trained in the administration of general anesthesia. Facilities for maintenance of a patent airway, artificial ventilation, oxygen enrichment, and circulatory resuscitation must be immediately available. Since level of anesthesia may be altered rapidly, only vaporizers producing predictable concentrations of sevoflurane should be used. - Known or suspected susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia. - Known or suspected sensitivity to sevoflurane or to other halogenated inhalational anesthetics.
Sevoflurane, Volatile Liquid for Inhalation, is packaged in amber colored bottles containing 250mL sevoflurane, NDC #12164-005-25 There is no specific work exposure limit established for sevoflurane. However, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has recommended an 8 hour time-weighted average limit of 2 ppm for halogenated anesthetic agents in general (0.5 ppm when coupled with exposure to N2 O) (see ADVERSE REACTIONS ). Store at 20° to 25° C (68° to 77° F). Excursions permitted to 15° to 30° C (59° to 86° F). See USP controlled room temperature.
Abbreviated New Drug Application
SEVOFLURANE- SEVOFLURANE LIQUID HALOCARBON LIFE SCIENCES, LLC ---------- SEVOFLURANE VOLATILE LIQUID FOR INHALATION RX ONLY DESCRIPTION Sevoflurane, volatile liquid for inhalation, a nonflammable and nonexplosive liquid administered by vaporization, is a halogenated general inhalation anesthetic drug. Sevoflurane is fluoromethyl 2,2,2,-trifluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl) ethyl ether and its structural formula is: SEVOFLURANE, PHYSICAL CONSTANTS ARE: Molecular weight 200.05 Boiling point at 760 mm Hg 58.6°C Specific gravity at 20°C 1.520 to 1.525 Vapor pressure in mm Hg 157 mm Hg at 20°C 197 mm Hg at 25°C 317 mm Hg at 36°C DISTRIBUTION PARTITION COEFFICIENTS AT 37°C: Blood/Gas 0.63 to 0.69 Water/Gas 0.36 Olive Oil/Gas 47 to 54 Brain/Gas 1.15 MEAN COMPONENT/GAS PARTITION COEFFICIENTS AT 25°C FOR POLYMERS USED COMMONLY IN MEDICAL APPLICATIONS: Conductive rubber 14.0 Butyl rubber 7.7 Polyvinylchloride 17.4 Polyethylene 1.3 Sevoflurane is nonflammable and nonexplosive as defined by the requirements of International Electrotechnical Commission 601-2-13. Sevoflurane is a clear, colorless, liquid containing no additives. Sevoflurane is not corrosive to stainless steel, brass, aluminum, nickel-plated brass, chrome-plated brass or copper beryllium. Sevoflurane is nonpungent. It is miscible with ethanol, ether, chloroform, and benzene, and it is slightly soluble in water. Sevoflurane is stable when stored under normal room lighting conditions according to instructions. No discernible degradation of sevoflurane occurs in the presence of strong acids or heat. When in contact with alkaline CO absorbents (e.g Baralyme and to a lesser extent soda lime) within the anesthesia machine, sevoflurane can undergo degradation under certain conditions. Degradation of sevoflurane is minimal, and degradants are either undetectable or present in non-toxic amounts when used as directed with fresh absorbents. Sevoflurane degradation and subsequent degradant formation are enhanced by increasing absorbent temperature increased sevoflurane conc Read the complete document
