Sedalin Oral Gel for Horses - 10ml
Sedalin Oral Gel for Horses
Sedalin Oral Gel for Horses is a veterinary sedative designed to calm and manage excitable or anxious horses. It is commonly used to facilitate safe handling, travel, or veterinary procedures that may otherwise be stressful for the animal. Containing the active ingredient acepromazine maleate, Sedalin offers a reliable method of tranquilisation, helping both horse and handler maintain safety and control during potentially difficult situations.
VET PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED - Please do not order without a Veterinary Prescription
Sedalin oral gel is widely recognised for its ease of administration and predictable sedative effect. It allows horse owners and veterinarians to reduce stress responses in horses without the need for injections. Sedalin is typically supplied in an easy-to-use syringe that enables precise dosing according to the horse’s weight and the level of sedation required.
How Sedalin Oral Gel Works
Sedalin Oral Gel contains acepromazine maleate, a phenothiazine derivative with well-established sedative and tranquillising properties. Acepromazine acts on the central nervous system by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain. This mechanism reduces the horse’s responsiveness to external stimuli, producing a calm and manageable demeanour without complete loss of consciousness.
When administered orally, the gel is absorbed through the digestive tract, and the effects begin to appear within 30 to 60 minutes. The duration and depth of sedation can vary depending on the dosage, the horse's temperament, and environmental factors. The sedative effect may last for several hours, providing a window of calmness suitable for a range of situations.
Sedalin does not act as an anaesthetic and should not be used as a substitute for pain relief. Its purpose is to reduce anxiety, fear, and excitability, making it easier and safer to handle or treat the horse.
