Sedanew® (Xilazina 10%) is a sedative, muscle relaxant and analgesic indicated for equines. Xylazine is pharmacologically classified as a sedative and analgesic agent of the class of alpha-2 adrenergic agonists. The drugs belonging to this class activate the alpha-2 adrenergic receptors present in the presynaptic neurons, both in the central and in the peripheral nervous systems, causing a reduction of the release of noradrenaline and consequent reduction of the sympatic activity of the central nervous system, leading to sedation. It can be considered a safe drug for the equine species, widely used in the clinical routine where short duration clinical and surgical procedures are desired in the quadrupedal position.

INDICATION

Sedanew® can be used alone or in combination with other anesthetic agents for sedation, analgesia, muscle relaxation and as a pre-anesthetic drug.
