User Comments about Propofol

08 Jan 2012	Overall this medication was effective. It took away the pain, but made my skin feel like leather. I did get a bit of a headache and dry mouth with it. I could still feel sensation and pressure while receiving stitches. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...

07 Jul 2010	This combined with several other medicines was given to me when I had back surgery. I didnt have any pain after back surgery when I was given this until it wore off. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...
