Detomidine hydrochloride – 10 mg;

The drug is quickly absorbed after intramuscular injection.
Maximum concentration in blood plasma is reached after 15-30 minutes. Detomidine is rapidly distributed in the body, its binding to plasma proteins is 85-90%, it is oxidized in the liver and partially metabolized in the kidneys.
Most of the drug metabolites are excreted with the urine. Half-life period is 1-2 hours.

 

Dosage:

Equisedan is administered intramuscularly or intravenously to horses. The degree of sedation can be regulated by adjusting the dose of the drug.
