A member asked:
What are the long term effects of exposure to halothane on my health ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Halothane is rarely used in the United States as there are other inhaled anesthetics that have taken its place. Halothane is associated with liver damage, however this is quite rare. Other possible effects of multiple repeated anesthetics could include mild cognitive dysfunction, typically in elderly patients.
