Acepromazine

Acepromazine or Acetylpromazine (More commonly known as ACP, or by the trade name Atravet) is one of the phenothiazine derivative psychotropic drugs, used little in humans, however frequently in animals as a sedative and antiemetic. Its principal value is in quietening and calming frightened and aggressive animals. The standard pharmaceutical preparation, acepromazine maleate, is used extensively in equine, feline, and canine; especially as a pre-anaesthetic agent often in conjunction with Atropine.
