Xylazine-based sedative and muscle relaxant specifically for small pets
Xylanit is an antagonist of central α2-adrenergic receptors, has calming, muscle relaxant and analgesic effects, and stimulates both central and peripheral alpha-receptors.
In case of a parenteral administration causes the rapid onset of dissociated anesthesia. After an intramuscular or subcutaneous administration, the onset of action of the drug occurs after 5-20 minutes, with an intravenous administration - after 1-5 minutes. The duration of the soothing effect varies in small pets from 1 to 2 hours.
An analgesic effect persists in small animals from 15 to 40 minutes. A muscle relaxant effect in animals occurs after 20-50 minutes.
Xylanit is used in dogs and cats for calming, analgesia and muscle relaxation during clinical and X-ray examinations, for immobilization of restless and aggressive animals, including during transportation; as an agent of premedication during surgical interventions, painful manipulations, and also for general anesthesia.
Animals should not be disturbed until the full effect of the drug has occurred. If the required sedation depth is not reached, additional injections are not recommended to achieve the desired effect.
Animals after the use of Xylanit should be monitored until a complete normalization of their physiological state.
