How long does the effect last?
The duration of sedation can vary; consult your veterinary package insert or professional for expected timeframes based on your horse's specific dosage.
Troubleshooting
Sedation seems ineffective
Ensure the gel was applied correctly under the tongue and not swallowed; ensure the horse's mouth was not full of feed which can hinder absorption.
Horse becomes restless during the procedure
Reduce environmental stimuli by dimming lights or minimizing noise, as the sedative can be overridden by high levels of panic or distraction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before administration, ensure the horse’s mouth is free of food or debris to allow for proper absorption. Apply the required dosage directly under the tongue, ensuring the syringe is placed correctly. Do not use this product in combination with intravenous potentiated sulphonamides, as this can lead to adverse cardiac events. Always store the product in a secure place out of reach of children. If the horse has a history of systemic illness, consult your veterinarian for a full health check prior to use to ensure there is no impairment of heart, liver, or kidney function that would make sedation unsafe.
