(a) Specifications. Each tablet contains either 10 milligrams or 25 milligrams of triflupromazine hydrochloride.

(b) Sponsor. See No. 053501 in §510.600(c) of this chapter.

(c) Conditions of use. (1) The drug is used in dogs and cats to relieve anxiety and to help control psychomotor overactivity as well as to increase the tolerance of animals to pain and pruritus. The drug is indicated in various office and clinical procedures which require the aid of a tranquilizer, antiemetic, or preanesthetic.1

(2) The drug is administered orally to dogs and cats at a dosage level of 1 to 2 milligrams per pound of body weight daily; an initial dosage at the 2-milligrams level is suggested followed by daily doses at the 1-milligram level. Frequently, the drug may be withdrawn after 4 to 5 days, with drug effect continuing after withdrawal.1

(3) Do not use in conjunction with organophosphates and/or procaine hydrochloride, because phenothiazines may potentiate the toxicity of organophosphates and the activity of procaine hydrochloride.1

(4) Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.1
