CLINICAL PARTICULARS
Summary presentation of the active substance: Isoflurane is a volatile
liquid
halogenated hydrocarbon. Although the exact mode of action is poorly
understood
it is thought that, in common with other general anaesthetics,
isoflurane acts by
competing with endogenous ligands for binding to specific
neuroreceptors.

4.4
SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
Horses: Recovery from isoflurane anaesthesia is generally smooth and
rapid.
However, one report suggests that horses recovering from isoflurane
anaesthesia
may appear un-coordinated. It is important to provide adequate
post-anaesthetic
analgesia since isoflurane anaesthetised horses may become aware of
their
surroundings more rapidly than horses recovering from halothane
anaesthesia.
