IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Tranquilizers are potent central nervous system depressants, and can cause marked sedation with suppression of the sympathetic nervous system.

Tranquilizers can produce prolonged depression or motor restlessness when given in excessive amounts or when given to sensitive animals.

Tranquilizers are additive in action to the actions of other depressants and will potentiate general anesthesia.

Accidental intracarotid injection in horses can produce clinical signs ranging from disorientation to convulsive seizures and death.

Therefore, do not use PromAce Injectable (acepromazine maleate, USP) to control tremors associated with organic phosphate poisoning. Do not use in conjunction with organophosphorus vermifuges or ectoparasiticides, including flea collars. Do not use with procaine hydrochloride.
