Quick Reference
What Is Acepromazine?
Acepromazine is a sedative and tranquilizer commonly used in veterinary medicine to help manage anxiety, fear, and stress-related behaviors in pets. It does not provide pain relief but works by calming the central nervous system. Compounded formulations allow for accurate dosing and improved palatability for dogs and cats.
How Acepromazine Works in Pets
Acepromazine works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, resulting in sedation and muscle relaxation. This helps reduce fear responses during travel, grooming, fireworks, veterinary visits, or medical procedures. It is commonly prescribed for short-term calming under veterinary supervision.
