Description of Atravet Injection(known as PromAce in the U.S)
Uses
Atravet (acepromazine) is a tranquilizer, most often used to sedate animals for minor procedures (e.g., nail trims), alleviate itching, and prevent vomiting due to motion sickness. It may also be used prior to anesthesia and surgery.
Dosage and Administration
The dosage should be individualized, depending upon the degree of tranquilization required. As a general rule, the dosage requirement in mg/lb of body weight decreases as the weight of the animal increases.
May be given intravenously, intramuscularly or subcutaneously. The following schedule may be used as a guide to IV, IM or SC injections:
Dogs: 0.25-0.5 mg/lb of body weight
Cats: 0.5-1 mg/lb of body weight
Horses: 2-4 mg/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.
Contra-indications
Phenothiazines may potentiate the toxicity of organophosphates and the activity of procaine hydrochloride. Therefore, do not use PROMACE (acepromazine maleate, USP) to control tremors associated with organic phosphate poisoning. Do not use in conjunction with organophosphorus vermifuges or ectoparasiticides, including flea collars. Do not use with procaine hydrochloride.
