ACEPROVET DROPS 20ML | ANTIEMETIC, TRANQUILISER FOR DOGS AND CATS

Aceprovet 15 mg/ml are oral drops containing acepromazine, in a 20 ml bottle, for dogs and cats. They are used to calm the animal during stressful situations, to sedate it during minor procedures, and to prevent vomiting due to motion sickness.

What is it for

• To calm in stressful situations: visits to the vet, travel or storms.
• To sedate in minor procedures or as sedation prior to anesthesia.
• To prevent vomiting due to motion sickness. As an antiemetic, it is only useful if that is the cause of the vomiting.

How it is used

They are given orally, directly in the mouth or with food. The manufacturer's dosage is:

• Dogs: 0,5-3 mg of acepromazine per kg of weight (1-9 drops/kg).
• Cats: 1,5-4,5 mg of acepromazine per kg of weight (5-14 drops/kg).

The dosage is adjusted according to the desired effect and the animal's characteristics. It is recommended to start with a low dose and increase it only if necessary.

Acepromazine 15 mg/ml oral drops solution, from Fatro. 20 ml bottle.

Precautions

Do not use if there is hypersensitivity to acepromazine, hepatic, cardiac, or renal dysfunction, or in debilitated, elderly, dehydrated, or shocked animals, or animals with a history of epilepsy. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. If your animal is undergoing other treatments, consult your veterinarian before administering Aceprovet, as it may potentiate the effects of other products, such as anesthetics.

In dogs, 1 to 9 drops per kg (0,5-3 mg/kg). In cats, 5 to 14 drops per kg (1,5-4,5 mg/kg). The dosage is not the same for both species, so do not use the dog dosage for a cat.
