摘要
The rapid intravenous administration of the butyrophenone tranquilliser, azaperone, at a dose rate of 0.29‐0.57 mg/kg body weight resulted in the immediate onset of excitement and ataxia of varying degree in over half the animals. The severity of the reaction appeared to be related to the size of the animal. Other side effects such as salivation, sweating, muscle tremor and vocalisation were also observed. The possible causes of this paradoxical reaction to the tranquilliser are discussed. L'injection intraveineuse rapide de butyrophenone à la dose de 0,29‐0,57 mg par kilo, provoqua l'apparition immédiate d'exitation et d'ataxie à des degrés divers sur la moitié des animaux. La sévérité de la réaction parut dépendre de la taille des animaux. D'autres effets, tels que le salivation, la sudation, des tremblements musculaires et des hennissements furent observés. On discute des causes possibles de ce comportement. Die rasche intravenöse Injektion des Butyrophenon‐Tranquillisers Azaperone in einer Dosis von 0,29 bis 0,57 mg/kg Körpergewicht erzeugte bei über der Hälfte aller behandelten Tiere ein unmittelbares Auftreten von Uebererregung und Ataxie verschiedenen Grades. Der Grad der Reaktion schien von der Grösse des Tieres abhängig zu sein. Andere Nebenwirkungen wie Salivation, Schweissausbruch, Muskelzittern und Wiehern wurden ebenfalls beobachtet. Die möglichen Gründe für diese paradoxe Reaktion auf den Tranquilliser werden diskutiert. © 1979 EVJ Ltd
