CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do not use in animals with known hypersensitivity to sevoflurane or
other halogenated anaesthetic
agents.
Do not use in animals with a known or suspected genetic susceptibility
to malignant hyperthermia.
6.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Hypotension, tachypnoea, muscle tenseness, excitation, apnoea, muscle
fasciculations and emesis have
been reported as very common adverse reactions, based on
post-authorisation spontaneous reporting
experience.
Dose-dependent respiratory depression is commonly observed while using
sevoflurane, therefore
respiration should be closely monitored during sevoflurane anaesthesia
and the inspired concentration
of sevoflurane adjusted accordingly.
Anaesthetic-induced bradycardia is commonly observed during
sevoflurane anaesthesia. It may be
reversed by administration of anticholinergics.
20
Paddling, retching, salivation, cyanosis, premature ventricular
contractions and excessive
cardiopulmonary depression have been reported very rarely based on
post-authorisation spontaneous
reporting experience.
In dogs, transient elevations in aspartate aminotransferase (AST),
alanine aminotransferase (ALT),
lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), bilirubin and white blood cell counts may
occur with sevoflurane, as
with the use of other halogenated anaesthetic agents. In cats,

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Special precautions for use in animals
Halogenated volatile anaesthetics can react with dry carbon dioxide
(CO
2
) absorbents to produce
carbon monoxide (CO) that may result in elevated levels of
carboxyhaemoglobin in some dogs. In
order to minimise this reaction in rebreathing anaesthetic circuits,
SevoFlo should not be passed
through soda lime or barium hydroxide that has been allowed to dry
out.
The exothermic reaction that occurs between inhalation agents
(including sevoflurane) and CO
2
absorbents is increased when the CO
2
absorbent becomes desiccated, such as after an extended period
of dry gas flow through the CO
2
absorbent canisters. Rare cases of excessive heat production, smoke
and/or fire in the anaesthetic machine have been reported during the
use of a desiccated CO
2
absorbent
and sevoflurane. An unusual decrease in the expected depth of
anaesthesia compared to the vaporiser
setting may indicate excessive heating of the CO
2
absorbent canister.
If it is suspected that the CO
2
absorbent may be desiccated, it must be replaced. The colour indicator
of most CO
2
absorbents does not necessarily change as a result of desiccation.
Therefore, the lack of

significant colour ch
