Clinical safety, tolerability, and efficacy of fospropofol disodium for sedation: a systematic review

Purpose

Fospropofol disodium (fospropofol) is a water-soluble prodrug of propofol with a distinct pharmacological and tolerability profile. However, evidence regarding the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of fospropofol across broader sedation contexts and different comparators remains insufficiently synthesized. This systematic review summarized current research findings on fospropofol to clarify its clinical role and guide future research.
