Key Benefits
- Aids in the relief of pain associated with equine colic.
- Preclinical model studies and clinical field trials in horses demonstrate that analgesic effects are seen within 15 minutes following injection and persist for approximately four hours.
- Original synthetic, centrally acting, narcotic agonist-antagonist analgesic with potent antitussive activity.
- Butorphanol has been demonstrated to be four times more potent than morphine.
- Unlike classic narcotic agonist analgesics – which are associated with decreases in blood pressure, reduction in heart rate and concomitant release of histamine – butorphanol does not cause histamine release. TORBUGESIC TORBUGESIC TORBUGESIC TORBUGESIC
- The cardiopulmonary effects of butorphanol are not distinctly dosage-related but reach a ceiling effect beyond which further dosage increases resulting in relatively lesser side effects.
