Zolfen

Zolfen is a medication containing the active ingredient thiopental sodium, a fast-acting barbiturate. It is primarily used as an anesthetic to induce unconsciousness quickly before surgery or medical procedures. Zolfen works by depressing the central nervous system, leading to sedation, relaxation, and loss of sensation. It is administered intravenously in controlled settings by healthcare professionals. Due to its potency and potential risks, Zolfen is used carefully under medical supervision, often for short-term anesthesia or, in some contexts, as part of lethal injection protocols.
