Each quarter-scored tablet contains 10 mg acepromazine maleate — the lower-strength option in the PromAce tablet line, offering finer dose control for small breeds, dogs requiring a conservative starting dose, or patients where titration in smaller increments is clinically appropriate. Acepromazine produces its effects through central nervous system depression, resulting in sedation, muscle relaxation, and decreased spontaneous movement via dopamine receptor blockade. Indicated as an aid in canine tranquilization and as a preanesthetic agent, and useful for managing difficult-to-handle dogs during clinical procedures. Supplied in bottles of 100 tablets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDose Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 10 mg strength allows 2.5 mg increments when quarter-scored, suitable for small dogs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePreanesthetic Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e It reduces total general anesthetic requirements in dogs, supporting safer induction and smoother perioperative management.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRapid Calming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acepromazine provides rapid calming without hypnosis, keeping the dog responsive during examination or treatment procedures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMuscle Relaxation:\u003c\/strong\u003e It produces sedation with muscle relaxation, helping reduce resistance and physical tension during veterinary procedures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow Toxicity Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Both acute and chronic toxicity studies confirmed a very low order of toxicity for acepromazine maleate in dogs at recommended doses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRepeatable Dosing as Needed:\u003c\/strong\u003e The tablet dose may be repeated as required based on the dog's clinical response and duration of procedure, under veterinary direction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eActive Ingredients\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcepromazine Maleate: 10 mg per tablet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDosage and Administration Instructions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrescription Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e Federal law restricts PromAce Tablets to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian only.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor Dogs Only:\u003c\/strong\u003e PromAce 10 mg Tablets are approved for use in dogs only; do not give to cats, horses, or any other species.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOral Dose Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Administer 0.25 to 1.0 mg per lb of body weight orally; always begin at the lowest end of the range and adjust upward only under veterinary direction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuarter-Score for Small-Dog Dosing:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 10 mg tablet can be split into four 2.5 mg pieces along the score lines, enabling very precise weight-based dosing in toy and small breeds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdminister 45-60 Minutes Before Procedure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Give the tablet roughly 45 to 60 minutes before the examination or clinical event to allow the full sedative effect to develop before it is needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDose Can Be Repeated:\u003c\/strong\u003e The dose may be repeated as clinically required; consult the prescribing veterinarian before repeating to confirm timing and appropriateness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLower Starting Dose in Sensitive Patients:\u003c\/strong\u003e For dogs that are stressed, hypovolemic, debilitated, in shock, or have cardiac disease, begin at the very bottom of the dose range and monitor closely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMonitor Throughout Full Duration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Since no reversal agent exists for acepromazine, keep the dog under close observation for the entire sedation period, which typically lasts 6-8 hours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e This dosage information is provided by the manufacturer.

The 10 mg strength is particularly well suited to small breeds, dogs needing a conservative starting dose, or situations where precise dose titration in smaller increments is required for safe and effective sedation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQ2: Why would a vet choose the 10 mg PromAce tablet over the 25 mg tablet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 10 mg tablet is preferred for small dogs where the 25 mg tablet would be too strong even when halved, for patients with liver disease or other sensitivity concerns requiring a more cautious approach, and when the veterinarian wants to begin at the very lowest end of the dose range with the ability to fine-tune in 2.5 mg quarter-scored increments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQ3: Does acepromazine PromAce relieve pain in dogs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Acepromazine is a tranquilizer and neuroleptic agent — it produces sedation and muscle relaxation but has no analgesic properties. It does not relieve pain on its own. When pain management is needed alongside sedation, a separate analgesic must be prescribed and administered by the veterinarian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQ4: Can PromAce 10 mg acepromazine tablets be given to cats?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e No. PromAce Tablets in both the 10 mg and 25 mg strengths are FDA-approved for use in dogs only. While acepromazine injectable solution is used in cats and horses by veterinarians, the tablet form carries a dogs-only label. Never administer the tablet to cats without specific veterinary instruction, as this would constitute off-label use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQ5: What happens if a dog wearing a flea collar is given PromAce acepromazine tablets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e This combination is explicitly contraindicated. Phenothiazine drugs like acepromazine potentiate the toxicity of organophosphate compounds found in many flea collars. Giving acepromazine to a dog wearing an organophosphate flea collar can result in serious toxic reactions. Remove all organophosphate-containing products and inform the vet before any acepromazine treatment is given.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boehringer Ingelheim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41753968967841,"sku":"078658545","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0593\/2446\/5313\/files\/promace-acepromazine-10mg-100-tablets-pet-medicine-730.jpg?v=1778505957","url":"https:\/\/hordypaw.shop\/products\/pcp-012bi-36060","provider":"HardyPaw","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
