Description
Sources: http://equimed.com/drugs-and-medications/reference/detomidine-hydrochloride |

Detomodine hydrochloride is a sedative with analgesic properties and α2-adrenergic agonist The dose-dependent sedative and analgesic effects reduce production of excitatory neurotransmitters, thereby calming the horse, relieving abdominal pain, and facilitating bronchoscopy and other procedures. Currently, detomidine is only licensed for use in horses.
