About Celodate Injection

Celodate Injection belongs to the class of short-acting intravenous anaesthetic agents used to induce general anaesthesia and sedation for short medical procedures. Anesthesia is a medical procedure that reduces pain and discomfort during surgical or medical procedures.

Celodate Injection contains Etomidate. It works by blocking the transmission of pain signals from the nerves to the brain.

Celodate Injection will be administered only in a hospital setting by an experienced anaesthetist. Etomidate could occasionally cause some undesirable effects during the procedure, just like other general anaesthetics. These include pain or discomfort along the vein where the injection was given, being sick, feeling sick, muscle twitching or jerking, difficulty moving your body, cortisol decreased, rash, lowered blood pressure, dizziness and fainting, breathing faster and/or deeper than normal, and noisy breathing. Your anaesthetist will immediately address any issues that emerge during your procedure.

Celodate Injection is recommended not to use if you are hypersensitive to Etomidate or other similar anaesthetics. If you are pregnant, suspect you are pregnant, or believe you may become pregnant, you must notify your doctor before receiving Celodate Injection. Breast-feeding should be discontinued during and for 24 hours after treatment with Celodate Injection. Before taking Celodate Injection, let your doctor know about all your medical conditions, sensitivities, and medications you are using. Patients should not drive or operate heavy machinery for at least 24 hours after receiving Etomidate.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Pain: Pain is not a disease but a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp; it might be constant or intermittent. The tolerance level of pain might vary from person to person. Pain can be generalized (overall body aches) or localized (affecting a specific body area). Pain can be considered a good thing as it helps us know something is wrong in the body and helps diagnose the condition. The common causes of pain include headache, muscle strain, cramps, cuts, bone fractures, arthritis and stomach aches.
