| + | Detomidine is available as a 10mg/ml solution in multidose vials. It is licenced for use in cattle and horses. It can be administered via an intravenous or intramuscular route. Although oral dosing is ineffective, it is readily absorbed across mucous membranes so may be adminstered sublingually. Its main indication for use is sedation in the horse for examinations, such as rectal or endoscopic, minor surgical procedures, as part of a premedication regime or before treatment, such as shoeing. |
