Ketaset 100mg/ml Solution for Injection
Uses
Ketaset is a dissociative anaesthetic agent for use by intramuscular, subcutaneous or intravenous injection.
Ketaset induces a state of catalepsy with amnesia and analgesia; muscle tone is maintained including the pharyngeal and laryngeal reflexes. The heart rate, blood pressure and cardiac output are increased; respiratory depression is not a noticeable feature. All these characteristics may be modified if Ketaset is used in combination with other agents.
Ketaset may be used as a sole agent for restraint and minor surgical procedures where muscle relaxation is not required in the domestic cat and sub-human primates.
Ketaset may also be used to induce anaesthesia:
1.in conjunction with butorphanol (Torbugesic™ Injection) and medetomidine (Domitor™) in the dog and cat,
2.in conjunction with xylazine in the dog, cat and horse,
3.in conjunction with detomidine (Domosedan™) in the horse,
4.in conjunction with romifidine (Sedivet™) in the horse.
