ANAQUEST'S SUPRANE LAUNCHED IN USA

2 November 1992

Anaquest's rapidly-acting inhaled anesthetic Suprane (desflurane) has now been launched in the USA. The product is indicated for induction of anesthesia in adults, but is not suitable for use in children because it is associated with severe upper airway adverse events in this group.

Desflurane is a follow-up to Anaquest's Forane (isoflurane), but its lower solubil-ity means that it has a quicker onset of action and shorter wash-in and wash-out period.
