Indications
Anaesthetic premedication: Following acepromazine administration, the amount of anaesthetic dose necessary to induce anaesthesia is considerably reduced. This reduction is approximately one-third of a suitable induction agent.
Tranquillisation: Acepromazine tranquillisation (ataraxy) involves a modification of temperament which is not associated with hypnosis, narcosis, or marked sedation. This is achieved with low doses of acepromazine.
Sedation: At higher dose rates acepromazine is a sedative.
Travel Sickness: A dose of 1 mg per kg given orally a quarter to half an hour before a light meal is effective in the prevention of travel sickness. Idiopathic vomiting may be controlled by acepromazine.
Dose to be administered and administration route
0.25 - 3 mg per kg bodyweight by oral administration. Onset of effects will be observed after 10 - 15 minutes.
Normally single doses of acepromazine are administered (see section 4.3, Contraindications).
Adverse reactions
See section 4.5 (i), Special precautions for use in animals.
