Atipamezole HCl(CAS: 104075-48-1)

Atipamezole HCl, also known as ATRX, is a veterinary drug used for the reversal of sedation and analgesia. It is a hydrochloride salt of atipamezole, a selective alpha-2 adrenoceptor antagonist. The chemical formula is C19H21NO4.HCl. It is a white or off-white crystalline powder with a bitter taste.

Atipamezole HCl is primarily used in veterinary medicine for the reversal of sedation and analgesia induced by alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonists such as xylazine. It is effective in both dogs and cats and is used to quickly recover animals from sedation in clinical and surgical settings.

Atipamezole HCl is generally considered safe when used according to the recommended dosages and protocols. However, it should be handled with care due to its potential to cause hypertension and tachycardia. Users should follow all safety guidelines, including wearing appropriate protective clothing and ensuring proper storage conditions. Toxicity data indicates that it is not acutely toxic, but it is important to avoid ingestion and contact with the skin or eyes.

Atipamezole HCl should be stored in a tightly closed container at room temperature (15-30°C), away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. It should be kept dry and protected from moisture. Avoid freezing. Store in a cool, dry place, and keep out of reach of children and pets. It is recommended to store it in a locked cabinet if possible.
