Important safety information
As with all drugs, side effects may occur. Not for human use. Sevospire is contraindicated in dogs with a known sensitivity to sevoflurane or other halogenated agents. Sevoflurane is a profound respiratory depressant. DUE TO THE RAPID AND DOSE DEPENDENT CHANGES IN ANESTHETIC DEPTH, RESPIRATION MUST BE MONITORED CLOSELY IN THE DOG AND SUPPORTED WHEN NECESSARY WITH SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN AND/OR ASSISTED VENTILATION. Due to sevoflurane’s low solubility in blood, increasing concentration may result in rapid hemodynamic changes compared to other volatile anesthetics. Operating rooms and animal recovery areas should be provided with adequate ventilation to prevent the accumulation of anesthetic vapors. To avoid production of carbon monoxide, sevoflurane should not be passed through desiccated soda lime or barium hydroxide lime. The most frequently reported adverse reactions during maintenance anesthesia were hypotension, followed by tachypnea, muscle tenseness, excitation, apnea, muscle fasciculations and emesis.
