All situations where sedation is needed, for instance during transport, with several forms of stress, small operations and as a pre anaesthetic with larger operations.

Administration to animals with heart or respiratory diseases.
Administration together with local anaesthetics (like procaine) or organo-phosphates (like insecticides) because acepromazine may potentiate toxicity of these compounds.
Hypothermia or hypertension.

After high doses respiratory disorders, hypertension and tachycardia can occur.

Precautions:

The recommended dosage level has to be followed since overdosing can result in toxic effects.

Administration together with analgesics, sedatives, anaesthetics (like procaine) or organophosphates (like insecticides) should be avoided, since acepromazine can potentiate the toxicity of these compounds.

Overdoses can cause convulsions, coma, hypotension, tachycardia, respiratory depression and hypothermia.

Skin contact has to be avoided during administration.

For intramuscular or intravenous administration.
