Innovar is a combination of which two agents?

• A. Morphine and Droperidol
• B. Sufentanil and Droperidol
• C. Fentanyl and Midazolam
• D. Fentanyl and Droperidol

Answer: (D)

Innovar is a fixed combination used in anesthesia that pairs fentanyl with droperidol. Fentanyl provides rapid, potent analgesia, while droperidol adds antiemetic and sedative effects by blocking dopamine receptors. Together, they produce analgesia, hypnosis, and nausea control in one preparation, which is why this pairing is the classic Innovar formulation. The other options mix different drugs that are not the standard Innovar combination, such as morphine with droperidol or fentanyl paired with a separate sedative like midazolam, which are not the marketed fentanyl–droperidol mix.
