Product Description

Xylazine is a non-narcotic sedative with muscle-relaxing properties, acting as an alpha2-adrenoreceptor agonist. Deep sedation is achieved within 3 to 5 minutes for IV administration and within 10 to 15 minutes for IM administration, making it ideal for quick procedures. Can be used for sedation during diagnostic, orthopedic, and dental procedures, as well as preanesthesia for both local and general anesthesia. Tolerated at 10 times the recommended dosage, though higher doses may produce muscle tremors and prolonged sedation.

Features & Benefits

Benefits:

• Effective sedation for short procedures: Provides a state of sedation lasting 1 to 2 hours, suitable for short-duration procedures in horses
• Preanesthetic use: Enhances the effect of local anesthetics (e.g., procaine, lidocaine) and central nervous system depressants (e.g., sodium pentobarbital) when used as a preanesthetic
• Rapid recovery: Horses recover completely within 30 to 40 minutes following IV administration, reducing downtime after procedures

• Sedative sction: Xylazine produces sedation by inhibiting the release of norepinephrine in the brain, inducing muscle relaxation and a sleep-like state
• Predictable sedation and muscle relaxation: Clinical effects are dose-dependent, providing reliable sedation for various clinical and diagnostic needs
• Minimal cardiovascular impact (IM): While IV use may cause transient cardiovascular effects, these are generally mild and can be mitigated with atropine
