ADVERSE REACTIONS
31
By virtue of its α2-adrenergic activity, dexmedetomidine causes a
decrease in heart rate and body
temperature.
A decrease in respiratory rate may occur in some dogs and cats.
Pulmonary oedema has been reported
rarely. Blood pressure will increase initially and then return to
normal or below normal. Due to
peripheral vasoconstriction and venous desaturation in the presence of
normal arterial oxygenation, the
mucous membranes may appear pale and/or with a blue tinge.
Vomiting may occur 5-10 minutes after injection. Some dogs and cats
may also vomit at the time of
recovery.
