Dexmedetomidine has the trade name of Dexdomitor. It is frequently used in dogs and cats both for sedation or as a pre-anesthetic. It is licensed for use in the United states by Pfizer Animal Health. In my experience, it is rarely used as a single agent. It has potent synergistic characteristics when used with an opiod. The benefits include deep sedation and profound analgesia. One major advantage of this combination is that it can be reversed with atipamazole. |

Structural formula
in the drug-/chem-box is that of medetomidine, both of its enantiomers ((R)- and (S)-), as far as I remember, dexmedetomidine is only the (S)-enantiomer, so if someone would be so kind, it would be great to have the actual correct formula...--84.163.126.171 (talk) 22:31, 23 January 2008 (UTC) Dexmedetomidine use in animals 6/25/10 Dexmedetomidine has the trade name of Dexdomitor.
