Curator's Comment:: description was created based on several sources, including http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2016/021038s027lbl.pdf

Dexmedetomide (biologically active dextroisomer of medetomidine) is an alpha2-adrenergic agonist which was approved by FDA for the sedation purposes. Upon administration the drug activates the alpha2 receptors thus inhibiting the release of norepinephrine and terminating the propagation of pain signals. Also it inhibits sympathetic activity and thus can decrease blood pressure and heart rate.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

For Adult Intensive Care Unit Sedation: Generally initiate at one mcg/kg over 10 minutes, followed by a maintenance infusion of 0.2 to 0.7 mcg/kg/hour. For Adult Procedural Sedation: Generally initiate at one mcg/kg over 10 minutes, followed by a maintenance infusion initiated at 0.6 mcg/kg/hour and titrated to achieve desired clinical effect with doses ranging from 0.2 to 1 mcg/kg/hour.

Route of Administration: Intravenous

In Vitro Use Guide

Strips of pregnant human myometrium obtained from six individuals at elective caesarean section were incubated with dexmedetomidine (1x10(-11) to 1x10(-6) g/mL) and the in vitro effect was studied as the drug may be used in obstetric anaesthesia
