Claims:
[
Short Claim]
Analgesic and sedative for use in horses, dogs and cats.
[Long Claim]
Horse: As an analgesic: This product is a centrally acting analgesic
and may be used
for the relief of pain in adult horses and yearlings. This product
alleviates abdominal
pain associated with torsion, impaction, intussusception, spasmodic
and tympanic and
postpartum pain.
Dog and Cat: As an analgesic: This product is used for the relief of
moderate to severe
pain in dogs and cats. This product can provide suitable analgesia
after a variety of surgical
procedures, e.g. orthopaedic and soft tissue surgery. Administered
pre-operatively, this
product will reduce the amount of analgesia required post-operatively.
As a sedative: In cats, sedation does not occur with this product
alone, but can occur in
dogs with this product alone. In both species, profound sedation is
achieved using this
product in conjunction with medetomidine hydrochloride, making it
suitable for radiography,
fracture examination or casting, dematting, ear cleaning, wound
management, anal gland
flush and other minor procedures.
As a pre-anaesthetic: Pre-anaesthetic use of this product in dogs has
resulted in a dose-
related reduction in the dose of thiopentone sodium needed to induce
anaesthesia, which
will also reduce the risk of anaesthetic respiratory depression.
Pre-anaesthetic use in cats
provides improved analgesia. Intravenous induction agents should be
given to effect.
As a anaesthetic: this product may be used in combination with
medetomidine
hydrochloride and ketamine hydrochloride as a triple anaesthetic.
