Size: 250 mL vial
Dosage and Administration
Premedication
AVet Isoflurane should be used only in an isoflurane specific vaporiser. AVet Isoflurane should be administered using an accurately calibrated vaporiser in an appropriate anaesthetic circuit. Levels of anaesthesia may be altered rapidly and easily. AVet Isoflurane may be administered in oxygen/nitrous oxide mixtures. AVet Isoflurane may be used with other drugs commonly used in veterinary anaesthetic regimens. Drugs used for premedication should be selected for the individual animal.
The MAC (minimum alveolar concentration) in oxygen given below for the target species should be used as a guide only. The actual concentrations required in practice will depend on many variables including the concomitant use of other drugs and clinical status of the patient.
