SPECIAL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Etomidate has revealed a porphyrogenic potential in animal
experiments.
Therefore it should not be administered to patients with inherited
disorders
of haem biosynthesis, unless the indication for administration of
etomidate
has defi nitely been established after careful consideration of its
risks and
potential benefi ts.
Especially when administered in high doses in combination with
centrally
depressant drugs, etomidate may cause transient anpnoea.
Soya-bean oil may rarely cause severe allergic reactions.
After prolonged continuous administration of etomidate there is a risk
of
transient adrenocortical failure. During longer lasting operations or
in the
case of impaired adrenocortical function prophylactic administration
of
cortisol may be needed, e.g. 50 - 100 mg of hydrocortisone.
Etomidate-Lipuro has no analgesic effect. If used for short-term
narcosis,
a strong analgesic, e. g. fentanyl, must be given prior to or
simultaneously
with Etomidate-Lipuro; attention should also be paid to further
information
given under “Interactions”.
