What is Sedalin 35mg/ml Oral Gel?
Sedalin 35mg/ml Oral Gel is used to sedate horses for a number of purposes, as it can relieve pain and distress. It can be given in varying amounts depending on the level of sedation required. For minor procedures (such as hoofing or clipping), you might only require a light level of sedation. Whereas a surgical operation will require a heavier level.
The gel is designed to be taken orally and has been developed to be palatable. You can either give it by dispensing it directly into your horse’s cheek or by mixing it with a small amount of their food.
How does Sedalin 35mg/ml Oral Gel work?
The active ingredient in Sedalin 35mg/ml Oral Gel is acepromazine, which dilates the blood vessels to drop blood pressure and slow down the heart rate. It also acts on the nervous system to cause a depression, all of which create a sedating effect that tranquilises your horse.
Instructions for Sedalin 35mg/ml Oral Gel
When you receive the medication, it’s important to read and understand the dosage instructions. The dose of the medicine may depend on your animal and the purpose for which it’s being used.
The gel should be taken orally by pumping the syringe directly into your horse’s mouth. Alternatively, you can mix the gel with a small amount of food.
As a general guideline, the dosage is 0.15 mg acepromazine per kg of body weight for moderate sedation. However, this guideline can be varied depending on the requirements. It can be halved for mild sedation and may be given up to 1 and a half times this mount for a heavy sedation. You should use this medicine as directed by your vet.
For use in horses weighing less than 200kg, you should seek the advice of your vet.
