Promace® should be given orally as directed by your veterinarian.

Give the dose as soon as possible. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose, and continue with the regular schedule. Do not give 2 doses at once.

Side effects may include incoordination, drowsiness and constipation.  Promace® may discolor your pet’s urine to a pink or red-brown color. Your pet’s blood pressure may decrease which may cause your pet to collapse. If this occurs, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Other side effects may occur. If you notice anything unusual, contact your veterinarian.

The following drugs can potentially interact with acepromazine: kaolin-pectin, bismuth subsalicylate compounds, antacids, propranolol, phenytoin, quinidine, epinephrine, other CNS depressants, atropine, barbiturates, barbiturate anesthetics, aminoglycoside antibiotics, phenylpropanolamine, tricyclic antidepressants (e.g. amitriptyline), and procaine. Contact your veterinarian if your pet experiences any unusual reactions when different medications are given together.

Make sure to tell your veterinarian what other medication you are giving to your pet. Quite often your veterinarian may prescribe two different medications, even if a drug interaction may occur. In this case, your veterinarian may vary the dose and/or monitor your pet more closely. 

Acepromazine should not be given to animals with strychnine or organophosphate poisoning or within one month of worming with an organophosphate agent. Do not use in conjunction with ectoparasiticides, including flea collars.
