The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use (CVMP) concluded that the benefits of DEXDOMITOR exceed the risks in: • non-invasive, mildly to moderately painful, procedures and examinations which require restraint, sedation and analgesia in dogs and cats, • premedication in cats and dogs before induction and maintenance of general anaesthesia (with ketamine in cats), • deep sedation and analgesia in dogs in concomitant use with butorphal for medical and minor surgical procedures.
