Azanilvet^® It is a neuroleptic sedative especially indicated for pigs. Its use is recommended for regrouping, postpartum stress management, transportation and anesthetic premedication of pigs.

• Regrouping: In fattening pigs and weaned piglets, the use of Azanilvet® is recommended 15 to 20 minutes prior to the regrouping of animals, as it prevents, delays and reduces the time and frequency of attacks for up to 2 hours after application. In boars, the use of Azanilvet® 15 to 20 minutes before regrouping, allows reducing the intensity and violence of the attacks for at least 4 hours after administration.
• Management of postpartum stress: The administration of Azanilvet® in sows at the time of expulsion of the placenta, allows control of postpartum stress in the mother, improving in this way the distribution of colostrum, reducing the incidence of diarrhea and obtaining a higher weaning weight in the piglets of treated mothers.
• Transportation of pigs: The administration of Azanilvet® reduces mortality and weight loss in fattening pigs caused by transport stress.
• Premedication for anesthesia: The administration of Azanilvet® prior to anesthesia allows for good sedation, achieving better induction and anesthetic duration. Its effect is comparable or superior to that of other pre-anesthetics, allowing adequate handling of the animal to perform various surgical procedures.
  The sedative effect in pigs begins approximately 15 to 20 minutes after intramuscular administration, with the effect remaining for 2 to 4 hours, depending on the dose used.

Administer deep intramuscularly using a long hypodermic needle, as close as possible to the back of the ear, perpendicular to the skin.

Administer in a single dose. The dosage varies depending on the indication for use:

Regrouping:

• Pigs and piglets: 1 mL/20 Kg (equivalent to 2 mg/Kg).
• Boars: 0.5 mL/20 Kg (equivalent to 1.0 mg/Kg).

Management of postpartum stress: 1 mL/20 Kg (equivalent to 2 mg/Kg).

Transport of pigs: 0.2 to 0.3 mL/20 Kg (equivalent to 0.4 to 0.6 mg/Kg).

Premedication for anesthesia: 1 mL/20 Kg (equivalent to 2 mg/Kg).

• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• Avoid use in very cold places, due to the risk of cardiovascular collapse secondary to peripheral vasodilation.
• Azaperone is not a substitute for appropriate anesthesia or analgesia.
• Azanilvet® should be administered in quiet environments to attenuate or eliminate possible unwanted effects.

Azaperone enhances the action of general anesthetics, and the dose of these should be reduced when Azaperone is used as anesthetic premedication.

• Do not administer intravenously, due to the presentation of a significant excitatory phase with cardiovascular effects.
• Do not administer to overexcited animals, as it increases the possibility of manifesting unwanted effects.
• Do not administer to pregnant females.

In therapeutic doses, the use of Azaperone can produce hypothermia, hypotension and cardiorespiratory depression in pigs. Additionally, and generally in the presence of disturbing environments, other effects may occur such as: salivation, panting, stacking, muscle tremors, disorientation and excitement, which are transitory in nature.
In boars, therapeutic doses of Azaperone (1.0 mg/Kg) can produce temporary relaxation of the penis with eventual damage to it. This effect is more common in overdose.

Although unwanted effects may occur at therapeutic doses, overdose of Azaperone, combined with administration in disturbing environments, increases the probability of the appearance of these effects very markedly.

In boars, overdose can more frequently produce temporary relaxation of the penis, with eventual damage to it.

Meat: 6 days.
