White anesthetic injection
Propofol is a fast-acting intravenous sedative used for inducing and maintaining anesthesia.
It produces rapid unconsciousness and wears off quickly, making it standard for outpatient procedures: The anesthesiologist administered propofol before the colonoscopy.
The drug gained notoriety as a factor in Michael Jackson's death in 2009.
