Innovar, administered intramuscularly 45 minutes preoperatively, provides excellent operative sedation, analgesia, and patient cooperation. Postoperative complications are minimized, and the quantity of postoperative analgesics and antiemetics is drastically reduced when Innovar is used as a preoperative medication.
