What Acevet Is and How It Works

This medicine contains acepromazine maleate, a phenothiazine tranquilizer used in veterinary practice. It reduces activity in certain brain pathways, which can produce sedation and help reduce motion-related nausea. The treatment does not provide pain relief and is often combined with analgesics during procedures.

Acevet 25 injection is typically chosen for preanesthetic medication, restraint during minor procedures, or to ease handling for imaging. Effects may intensify when used with other central nervous system depressants. See our broader range of animal therapies in Medicamentos para mascotas.

Who It’s For

This therapy is intended for use in dogs and cats under the direction of a veterinarian. It may also be used in other species when a prescriber determines it is appropriate. Animals with known hypersensitivity to phenothiazines should avoid it. Use caution in brachycephalic breeds, debilitated or aged pets, those in shock, or animals with liver disease. Pets with seizure disorders may be at higher risk; a prescriber should assess risks and benefits. Breeding males of some large species may require special consideration.

Posología y utilización

The solution is administered by a veterinarian or trained professional by intramuscular, subcutaneous, or slow intravenous routes. Timing, route, and dose are individualized for the species, procedure, and concurrent medicines. The injection site should be clean and prepared using aseptic technique. Allow adequate time for sedation before handling or induction steps. If combined with other sedatives, the clinician may adjust the plan to reduce excessive depression.

Acevet 25 injectable solution may be used alone for tranquilization, or as part of a multimodal protocol for preanesthetic restraint. This medicine is not a substitute for analgesia. If the pet is also receiving other treatments, follow the prescriber’s instructions and keep an accurate medication list.

Fortalezas y formas

This product is supplied as a sterile injectable solution. Commonly available packaging includes a multi-dose vial suitable for clinic use. Acevet 25 mg/mL injection is the typical concentration referenced for this item, though availability may vary by lot and supplier. Vial sizes such as a 100 mL presentation may be offered; check current listings for what is in stock.

Dosis omitida y momento oportuno

Injections for preanesthetic use are scheduled and given in the clinical setting. If a scheduled dose is delayed or missed before a procedure, the veterinary team will reassess timing. At-home use is uncommon; if a planned dose is not given as expected, contact the clinic for guidance. Do not repeat or increase doses without professional direction.

Almacenamiento y viaje

Store vials at controlled room temperature, away from excessive heat, freezing, and direct light. Keep the cap closed and the vial upright when possible. Do not use if the solution changes color, becomes cloudy, or contains particles. Keep out of reach of children and other animals. When you travel, carry the vial in its original packaging with a copy of the prescription. Use a protective case, and avoid leaving the medicine in vehicles or other hot environments.

This item is drawn with sterile needles and syringes. Use new, appropriate-size needles for each draw to preserve vial integrity and reduce contamination. Place used needles and syringes in a puncture-resistant sharps container. Follow local regulations or clinic instructions for disposal. Never recap by hand or discard sharps in household trash.

Beneficios

As part of a veterinary plan, this tranquilizer can make examinations, imaging, minor procedures, and transport safer and less stressful. It can reduce motion-induced nausea and help provide smoother anesthetic inductions when combined with other agents. The flexibility of injectable administration allows clinicians to tailor timing and depth of sedation to the situation.

Efectos secundarios y seguridad

• Sleepiness or reduced activity
• Low blood pressure or slower heart rate
• Ataxia or unsteady gait
• Protrusion of the third eyelid
• Possible mild injection-site irritation

Serious reactions are uncommon but can include marked hypotension, collapse, allergic reactions, or rare paradoxical excitement. In animals with seizure history, phenothiazines may lower the seizure threshold. In certain large species, prolonged penile relaxation has been reported. Seek veterinary attention for severe or unexpected effects. Always use under a clinician’s supervision.

Interacciones medicamentosas y precauciones

Other sedatives, opioids, anesthetics, and antihistamines can increase sedative effects. Blood-pressure–lowering agents may add to hypotension risk. Epinephrine can cause paradoxical hypotension with phenothiazines. Use caution with organophosphate insecticides and some antiparasitics. Provide your veterinarian a complete list of all medicines, supplements, and preventives.

Nausea support options are reviewed in Cerenia comprimidos e inyecciones.

Qué esperar con el tiempo

Sedation depth and duration vary by species, temperament, dose, route, and concurrent medicines. The goal is calmness and cooperation, not full anesthesia unless combined with other agents. Pets may remain quiet or wobbly for a period after procedures; this typically improves as the drug is cleared. Provide a low-stimulation environment and follow clinic discharge notes. Call the practice if unexpected behavior or prolonged sedation occurs.

Comparar con alternativas

For oral pre-visit calming in dogs and cats, some veterinarians use Atravet tablets. For procedural sedation in the clinic, alpha-2 agonists such as Dexdomitor® Vial may be considered. Your prescriber will select an agent or combination that fits the patient’s needs, monitoring requirements, and the planned procedure.

Adecuación al paciente y consejos para ahorrar costes

Good candidates are healthy dogs or cats needing sedation for imaging, minor procedures, or as preanesthetic medication. Pets with severe systemic disease, shock, significant liver impairment, or certain breed-related sensitivities may need alternative plans. To manage costs, clinics sometimes choose larger vial sizes where appropriate. Schedule refills ahead of planned procedures, and set reminders so you can upload the prescription and confirm details before the visit.
