Rx Promace Injection x 50ml bottle

Promace Injection PromAce Injectable (acepromazine maleate) a potent neuroleptic agent with a low order of toxicity, is of particular value in the traquilization of dogs, cats and horses. PromAce has a depressant effect on the central nervous system and, therefore, causes sedation, muscular relaxation and a reduction in spontaneous activity. It acts rapidly, exerting a prompt and pronounced calming effect. - CAUTIONS/WARNINGS:Warning Do not use in horses intended for human consumption. Precautions Tranquilizers are potent central nervous system depressants and they can cause marked sedation with suppression of the sympathetic nervous system. Tranquilizers can produce prolonged depression or motor restlessness when given in excessive amounts or when given to sensitive animals. Tranquilizers are additive in action to the actions of other depressants and will potentiate general anesthesia. Tranquilizers should be administered in smaller doses and with greater care during general anesthesia and also to animals exhibiting symptoms of stress debilitation cardiac disease sympathetic blockade hypovolemia or shock. PromAce Injectable like other phenothiazine derivatives is detoxified in the liver; therefore it should be used with caution in animals with a previous history of liver dysfunction or leukopenia. Hypotension can occur after rapid intravenous injection causing cardiovascular collapse. Epinephrine is contraindicated for treatment of acute hypotension produced by phenothiazine-derivative tranquilizers since further depression of blood pressure can occur. Other pressor amines such as norepinephrine or phenylephrine are the drugs of choice. - DIRECTIONS:Dosage & Administration Administer IV, IM, or Sub-Q Dogs – 0.25 - 0.5 mg per lb of body weight Cats – 0.5-1 mg per lb of body weight Horses – 2-4 mg per 100 lb of body weight IV doses should be administered slowly and a period of at least 15 minutes should be allowed for the drug to take full effect - INGREDIENTS:Acepromazine Maleate, benzyl alcohol, sodium citrate dihydrate, citric acid monohydrate - MATERIAL/COMP:Liquid - STORAGE/DISPOSAL REQ:Store at 20? to 25?C (68? to 77?F) excursions permitted between 15? and 30?C (between 59? and 86?F).
