A member asked:
How long does propofol stay in your system after an endoscopy? thank you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Half-life: Propofol is bi-phasic, with its initial half-life being relatively quick, around 40 minutes, and its terminal half-life usually being 4 to 7 hours. Context-sensitive half-time may be up to 1 to 3 days after a 10-day infusion. The clinical effect of propofol is much shorter in duration.
