It may cause an increase in intracranial pressure which is the pressure inside the skull which can affect the ability to drive. It is also advised not to operate machinery because of these effects.
Forane Solution for inhalation is put into a special anaesthetic machine (vaporiser) where it becomes a gas. Thereafter, it mixes with the oxygen that you breathe in, and induces reversible loss of consciousness. This allows surgical procedures to be carried out without pain and distress.
Isoflurane is minimally metabolized by CYP2E1 to trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). Only approximately 0.2% of isoflurane is metabolized [Article:25593732]. Isoflurane is considered less hepatotoxic compared to halothane and enflurane but some rare incidents of fatal hepatotoxocity have been reported [Article:25593732].
