Sevoflurane is nonflammable and nonexplosive as defined by the
requirements of
International Electrotechnical Commission 601-2-13.
Sevoflurane is a clear, colorless, stable liquid containing no
additives or chemical
stabilizers. Sevoflurane is nonpungent. It is miscible with ethanol,
ether, chloroform and
petroleum benzene, and it is slightly soluble in water. Sevoflurane is
stable when stored
under normal room lighting condition according to instructions.
INDICATIONS:
Sevoflurane is indicated for induction and maintenance of general
anesthesia in dogs.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:
INSPIRED CONCENTRATION: The delivered concentration of Sevoflurane
should be known.
Since the depth of anesthesia may be altered easily and rapidly, only
vaporizers
producing predictable percentage concentrations of sevoflurane should
be used.
Sevoflurane should be vaporized using a precision vaporizer
specifically calibrated for
sevoflurane. Sevoflurane contains no stabilizer. Nothing in the drug
product alters
calibration or operation of these vaporizers. The administration of
general anesthesia
must be individualized based
