DES CRIPTION:
Acepromazine Maleate Injection, USP, a potent neuroleptic agent with a
low order of toxicity, is of
particular value in the tranquilization of dogs, cats and horses. Its
rapid action and lack of hypnotic
effect are added advantages. According to Baker,
the scope of possible applications for this
compound in veterinary practice is only limited by the imagination of
the practitioner.
EACH ML CONTAINS: acepromazine maleate 10 mg, sodium citrate 0.36%,
citric acid 0.075%, benzyl
alcohol 1% and water for injection.
Acepromazine [10-[3-(dimethylamino) propyl] phenothiazin-2-yl-methyl
ketone] Maleate, USP has the
following chemical structure:
Acepromazine Maleate Injection has a depressant effect on the central
nervous system and, therefore,
causes sedation, muscular relaxation and a reduction in spontaneous
activity. It acts rapidly, exerting a
prompt and pronounced calming effect.
INDICATIONS :
DOGS AND CATS: Acepromazine Maleate Injection can be used as an aid in
controlling intractable animals
during examination, treatment, grooming, x-ray and minor surgical
procedures; to alleviate itching as a
result of skin irritation; as an antiemetic to control vomiting
associated with motion sickness.
Acepromazine Maleate Injection is particularly useful as a
preanesthetic agent (1) to enhance and
prolong the effects of barbiturates, thus reducing the requirements
for general anesthesia; (2) as an
adjunct to surgery under local anesthesia.
