Ingredients of Dormosedan Gel

Dormosedan Gel contains Detomidine Hydrochloride (Detomidine HCl) as the active ingredient. This powerful alpha-2 adrenergic agonist is responsible for the sedative effects observed in horses. Other ingredients include a carrier gel that ensures easy oral administration and rapid absorption.

How Dormosedan Gel Works

Detomidine HCl, the active ingredient in Dormosedan Gel, works by binding to alpha-2 adrenergic receptors in the central nervous system. This binding action decreases the release of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter associated with alertness and arousal, leading to sedation, muscle relaxation, and analgesia in horses. The gel formulation allows for direct oral administration, with effects typically beginning within 30-45 minutes and lasting for several hours, depending on the dosage.

Dosage and Administration 

Frequency

• Administer Dormosedan Gel as needed, typically before procedures that may cause stress or require the horse to remain calm. The frequency of use should be based on the specific needs of the horse and the guidance of a veterinarian.

Consistency

• Ensure consistent dosing based on the horse's body weight and the required level of sedation. Always follow the veterinarian’s instructions for repeated use and avoid overdosing.

Dormosedan Gel is generally well-tolerated, but some horses may experience side effects.
