Inductofol 10 mg/ml Emulsion for Injection for Cats and Dogs

The product is indicated for intravenous administration to dogs and cats. Prior to
use, the product should be inspected visually for absence of visible droplets or
extraneous foreign particles and discarded if present. The vial should be shaken
gently but thoroughly before opening.
Induction: The induction dose is calculated according to bodyweight and may be
administered to effect over a period of 10 to 40 seconds. Alternatively, the
calculated dose may be given in full as a single bolus over a shorter time interval.
The induction dose is reduced by the use of premedicants.
The following dose rates are for guidance and in practice the dose rate should be
based on response.
The average induction dose for dogs and cats, either unpremedicated or when
premedicated with a non alpha-2-agonist tranquilliser such as acepromazine, is
as follows:

Maintenance: Where anaesthesia is maintained by incremental injections, the
dose rate will vary between animals. Incremental doses should be given to
effect. Doses of around 1 ml per 4.0 – 8.0 kg bodyweight sustain anaesthesia for
periods of up to 5 minutes.
Maintenance by inhalation agents: Where inhalation agents are used to maintain
general anaesthesia, clinical experience indicates that there may be a need to
use a higher initial concentration of inhalation agent than is normally the case
following induction with barbiturate agents such as thiopentone.
Continuous and prolonged exposure (greater than 30 minutes) may lead to
slower recovery, particularly in cats.
