7. Telazol 100 mg belongs to complex anesthetics.

Tiletamine hydrochloride is a dissociative anesthetic that has a pronounced analgesic effect, but does not cause sufficient muscle relaxation. Tiletamine hydrochloride does not suppress swallowing, laryngeal, cough reflexes, does not depress the respiratory center.

Zolazepam hydrochloride is a benzodiazepine tranquilizer that inhibits the subcortical regions of the brain, causing anxiolytic and sedative effects, as well as relaxation of skeletal muscles. Zolazepam hydrochloride enhances the anesthetic effect of tiletamine hydrochloride. It also prevents the onset of seizures caused by tiletamine hydrochloride, improves muscle relaxation and accelerates recovery from anesthesia.

The time of the onset of anesthesia after intramuscular administration of Telazol is individual, therefore, after the injection of the drug, careful observation of the animal should be established.
