-MilK- -Propofol has been referred to as "milk of amnesia" (a play on words of milk of magnesia), because of the milk-like appearance of its intravenous preparation- "I even remember my first experience using propofol: a young woman who was emerging from a MAC anesthesia[8] looked at me as though I were a masked Brad Pitt and told me that she felt simply wonderful." —C.F. Ward, M.D On 4 June 2010 Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., an Israel-based pharmaceutical firm, and major supplier of the drug, announced that they would no longer manufacture it. This aggravates an already existing shortage, caused by manufacturing difficulties at Teva and Hospira. A Teva spokesperson attributed the halt to ongoing process difficulties, and a number of pending lawsuits related to the drug.[46] In Switzerland, various preparations of the drug are supplied by Fresenius-Kabi, a German company. In July 2012, the United Kingdom announced its intention to ban propofol exports to American correctional facilities en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priapism
