Anaesthetic premedication: Following acepromazine administration, the amount of anaesthetic dose necessary to induce anaesthesia is considerably reduced. This reduction is approximately one-third of a suitable induction agent.
Tranquillisation: Acepromazine tranquillisation (ataraxia) involves a modification of temperament which is not sedative at high dosages, nor marked sedation. This is due to the low doses of acepromazine.
Travel Sickness: A dose of 1 mg per kg given orally a quarter to half an hour before a light meal is effective in the prevention of travel sickness. Vomiting may be controlled by acepromazine.
