Acepromazine Maleate (Generic) Tablets for Dogs
Prescription Item
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
Acepromazine Maleate is a prescription medication for dogs who need tranquilization or for dogs who suffer from motion sickness. It’s used as a pre-anesthetic and as an anti-emetic to prevent vomiting due to motion sickness. This medication is not a pain reliever but can be used to sedate animals for minor procedures, such as nail trims. Best of all, it comes in a tablet form, so you can easily hide it in a pill pocket and give it as a tasty treat or disguise it in your dog’s favorite wet food. Customers may receive this drug under the names PromAce, Aceproject.
UsesAcepromazine Tablets can be used as an aid in controlling intractable animals during examination, treatment, grooming, x-ray and minor surgical procedures.
Possible Side EffectsA few rare but serious occurrences of idiosyncratic reactions to acepromazine may occur in dogs following oral or parenteral administration. These potentially serious adverse reactions include behavioral disorders in dogs such as aggression, biting/chewing, and nervousness.
Drug & Food InteractionsAntacids and antidiarrheal medications may reduce the effectiveness of this medication. Before starting acepromazine, tell your veterinarian if your pet is currently taking phenytoin, antiarrhythmics like quinidine, or beta blockers such as propranolol. Other drug interactions may occur.
Precautions
Tranquilizers are potent central nervous system depressants, and they 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. Tranquilizers should be administered in smaller doses and with greater care during general anesthesia and also to animals exhibiting symptoms of stress, debilitation, cardiac disease, sympathetic blockade, hypovolemia or shock. Acepromazine, like other phenothiazine derivatives, is detoxified in the liver; therefore, it should be used with caution on animals with a previous history of liver dysfunction or leukopenia.

Should’ve been cut by the pharmacist
By Teddy on Aug 4, 2020
I wouldn’t use it unless you really have to I use it for my dog for thunderstorms but the side effects are not good the next day he’s very groggy which is OK but he gets aggressive. These pills need to be cut up before they are delivered they didn’t cut them up for me and when you try to cut them yourself they break in pieces I have another medicine that I like it much better because they don’t hear the thunder as much he panics we had bad storms last night and hurricane warning so I had to give him the pill is used for emergencies only

Acepromazine - my scardy pills
By Sadiekins on Jun 12, 2020
My humans ordered these pills for me because whenever there are fireworks, or thunder i am very scared. The pharmacy that they ordered them from gave my mum free shipping and the pills arrived really quickly. I love it when my humans give me these pills because i am able to sleep peacefully without shaking and without having to sit on my mums lap, even though i am a Labrador dog and weight 85 lbs. I recommend you get some of these pills!

Successful
By MrsFrosty on Aug 3, 2019
This product is amazing. After rescuing a bait dog and learning about his anxiety, this is the only product that can calm his anxiety to a manageable level for him. Would recommend this highly. We now have a much happier dog.

My pit mix a no go
By Doglover on Apr 28, 2019
So I got this because my dog gets over nervous with nail trim and will nip pull back everything. So I got this whoever's it got her in a high state of mind but did not knock her on her butt . So she still would not let me cut her nails the vet said this some time can happen and not always work on all dogs . Blah mad I got 15 tabs. If you need it try it it might work for your dog
