Product Description

TORBUGESIC® is for the relief of pain associated with colic in adult horses and yearlings. It can be used to alleviate abdominal pain associated with torsion, impaction, intussusception, spasmodic and tympanic colic and postpartum pain.

Features & 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
• 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
