Relaquine is an oral sedative gel containing ACP that comes in a graduated syringe. The gel can be given directly into the mouth or mixed with food. It starts to take effect in 15-30 minutes and can last approximately 6 hours. Length and depth of sedation are variable, and it provides no pain relief.
Relaquine Gel comes in a syringe & can be given directly into the mouth or mixed in with a feed. It contains ACP (acepromazine), a sedative, which takes effect 15-30 minutes after being given. Sedation lasts for approximately 6 hours, but the length & depth of sedation are very variable, depending on the horse (temperament, surroundings etc). Although it provides sedation, there are no analgesic effects (pain relief). The dose can be varied depending on the desired level of sedation- if only mild sedation is required, give half the recommended dose.
One syringe will do 5 doses (2ml) of moderate sedation for a 450kg horse.
