Rompun™ (Xylazine) 100 mg/mL Injectable Sedative and Analgesic For Use in Horses and Cervidae Only BRIEF SUMMARY: Before using Rompun (xylazine), please consult the product insert, a summary of which follows: CAUTION: Federal (U.S.A.) law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Rompun™ is supplied in 50 mL multiple dose vials as a sterile solution. Each mL contains 100 mg Rompun™ (xylazine base equivalent); 0.9 mg methylparaben; 0.1 mg propylparaben; water for injection; citric acid and sodium citrate for pH adjustment to 5.5 ± 0.3. INDICATIONS: Rompun™ should be used in horses and Cervidae when it is desirable to produce a state of sedation accompanied by a shorter period of analgesia. SIDE EFFECTS: Rompun™ used at recommended dosage levels may occasionally cause slight muscle tremors, bradycardia with partial A-V heart block and a reduced respiratory rate. Movement in response to sharp auditory stimuli may be observed. In horses, sweating, rarely profuse, has been reported following administration. PRECAUTIONS: Careful consideration should be given before administering to horses and Cervidae with significantly depressed respiration, severe pathologic heart disease, advanced liver or kidney disease, severe endotoxic or traumatic shock, or stress conditions such as extreme heat, cold, high altitude or fatigue. Do not use Rompun™ in conjunction with tranquilizers. In spite of sedation, the practitioner and handlers should proceed with caution since defense reactions may not be diminished. Intracarotid Arterial Injection Should Be Avoided. SAFETY: Rompun™ is tolerated at 10 times the recommended dose in horses. However, some elevated doses produced muscle tremors and long periods of sedation. WARNING: This drug should not be administered to domestic food-producing animals. Do not use in horses intended for human consumption. Avoid accidental administration to humans. Should such exposure occur, notify a physician immediately. Artificial respiration may be indicated.
