Sedastop 5 mg/ml Solution for Injection for Cats and Dogs

Atipamezole hydrochloride is administered 15-60 min after medetomidine or
dexmedetomidine hydrochloride administration.
To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as
possible.
Dogs: The intramuscular atipamezole hydrochloride dose [in µg] is five times that of
the previous medetomidine hydrochloride dose or ten times that of the
dexmedetomidine hydrochloride dose. Due to the 5-fold higher concentration
of the active ingredient (atipamezole hydrochloride) in this veterinary medicinal
product compared to that of preparations containing 1 mg medetomidine
hydrochloride per ml and the 10-fold higher concentration compared to that of
preparations containing 0.5 mg dexmedetomidine hydrochloride, an equal volume of
each preparation is required.
