INDICATIONS: Butorphanol tartrate is indicated for the relief of pain associated
with colic in adult horses and yearlings. Clinical studies in the horse have shown
that butorphanol tartrate alleviates abdominal pain, associated with torsion,
impaction, intussusception, spasmodic and tympanic colic, and postpartum pain.
WARNINGS: NOT FOR HUMAN USE. DO NOT USE IN HORSES INTENDED FOR
HUMAN CONSUMPTION.
CAUTION: Butorphanol tartrate, a potent analgesic, should be used with caution
with other sedative or analgesic drugs as these are likely to produce additive
effects.
There are no well-controlled studies using butorphanol in breeding horses,
weanlings, and foals. Therefore, the drug should not be used in these groups.
ADVERSE REACTIONS: In clinical trials in horses, the most commonly observed
side effect was slight ataxia which lasted 3 to 10 minutes. Marked ataxia was
reported in 1.5% of the 327 horses treated. Mild sedation was reported in 9% of
the horses.
DOSAGE: The recommended dosage in the horse is 0.1 mg of butorphanol per
kilogram of body weight (0.05 mg/lb) by intravenous injection. This is equivalent
to 5 ml of Butorphanol tartrate for each 1000 lbs body weight. The dose may
be repeated within 3 to 4 hours, but treatment should not exceed 48 hours.
Pre-clinical model studies and clinical field trials in horses demonstrate that the
analgesic effects of butorphanol tartrate are seen within 15 minutes following
injection and persist for about 4 hours.
