CAUTION: Do not administer Acepromazine

brief respiratory distress.
Some irritation may occur at site of injection. Monitor
for signs of infection and consult your veterinarian should you notice
any.
Do not use Acepromazine to control tremors resulting
from organic phosphate poisoning.

Acepromazine is a potent central nervous system depressant
that causes sedation.
As with most tranquilizers, this product may cause
prolonged depression or motor restlessness in high doses or in sensitive
animals.
Acepromazine strengthens the action of other depressants
and general anesthesia.
Phenothiazine tranquilizers like Acepromazine may
potentiate the arterial hypotensive effects of local anesthetics.
In rare instances, dogs may bite, chew, or experience
nervousness or aggression in response to this product. Do not use Acepromazine
to treat aggression.
As with other phenothiazine-derived tranquilizers,
injection of this product may result in paralysis of the retractor penis
muscle in horses. To reduce risk, administer as low a dose as possible
for the desired effect. Injection can be expected to produce protrusion
of the penis, and it is not possible to differentiate right away between
a normal transient reaction and an irreversible reaction. The cause
of this side effect remains unknown, but it has been postulated that
it occurs when tranquilizers are used concurrently with testosterone.
Intracarotid injection may result in disorientation,
convulsive seizures, death, or other adverse reactions.
Hypotension and cardiovascular collapse can result
from rapid intravenous administration of the injectable form of this
tranquilizer.
Do not use epinephrine to treat hypotension resulting
from administration of phenothiazine tranquilizers such as this one,
as it can result in further reduction of blood pressure.
Seek emergency veterinary treatment for an overdose.
Signs may include excessive drowsiness, slow breathing or heart rate,
seizures, loss of consciousness, hypotension, or unsteady movements.
Seek emergency veterinary attention for an allergic
reaction. Signs may include facial swelling, seizures, hives, itching,
rash, or difficulty breathing.
Tell your veterinarian if your pet takes any supplements
or drugs. Consult before administering any supplements or drugs to an
animal taking Acepromazine.
