Methoxyflurane is a halogenated anesthetic that was used decades ago for a balanced general anesthesia and is currently indicated for patient-controlled sedation. This drug is currently on sale in the Mexican Republic, so remembering the characteristics that make it different from other halogenated drugs, its pharmacokinetics and its usefulness for different scenarios provides knowledge for use in clinical practice.
