Atipamezole is a drug used in animal pharmaceuticals to reverse the effects of sedatives and tranquilizers. It is commonly used in veterinary medicine to treat animals that have been sedated for medical procedures. Atipamezole is a synthetic alpha-2 adrenergic receptor antagonist, meaning it blocks the action of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, which is responsible for the sedative effects of tranquilizers. It is available in both injectable and oral forms, and is typically administered shortly after the sedative has been given. Atipamezole is used in a variety of animal species, including cats, dogs, horses, and birds. It is also used in zoo animals, such as elephants and primates. The drug is generally well-tolerated and has few side effects. Atipamezole is manufactured by several companies, including Zoetis, Merck Animal Health, and Elanco Animal Health. It is also available from a number of generic manufacturers. Show Less Read more
