Species
Horse
Indications
For sedation of horses
Dose to be administered and administration route
Moderate sedation: 0.15 mg acepromazine/kg bodyweight.
The dose may be varied to administer between ½ and 1 ½ times the above recommendation according to the level of sedation required, i.e. for mild sedation, administer half the recommended dose and for deeper sedation, administer 1 ½ times the recommended dose.
Because of the difficulties in ensuring the accurate delivery of small doses, the product should only be used in horses of less than 200kg bodyweight in accordance with a benefit / risk assessment by the responsible veterinarian.
The syringe is brought into the animal’s mouth and the suitable dose is pumped into the cheek pouch. The palatable gel can also be mixed with food.
Adverse reactions
Since acepromazine decreases sympathetic nervous system tone, a transient drop in blood pressure may occur after its administration.
Inhibition of temperature regulation.
The following reversible changes are possible in the haemogram:
Transient decrease in the erythrocyte count and haemoglobin concentration as well as in thrombocyte and leukocyte counts.
Because it increases prolactin secretion, the administration of acepromazine may lead to disturbances in fertility.
Penile prolapsed may occur due to the relaxation of the retractor penis muscles.
Retraction of the penis should be visible within two to three hours. If this does not take place, it is advised to contact a veterinary surgeon. Lack of retraction is of particular concern in breeding stallions. Acepromazine has caused paraphimosis sometimes in a sequel to priapism.
