Atipamezole reverses all effects of (dex)medetomidine, thus the sedative, analgesic and cardiovascular effects which may lead to a transient increase in heart rate. If sedatives other than (dex)medetomidine are given, it must be kept in mind that the effects of those other agents may persist after reversal of (dex)medetomidine. Atipamezole does not reverse the effect of ketamine, which may cause seizures in dogs and elicit cramps in cats when used alone. Do not administer atipamezole within 30 – 40 minutes of prior administration of ketamine. Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals The veterinary medicina Soma hati kamili
