別名: Yobine, Antagonil, Aphrodyne, Dayto Himbin, Pluriviron mono, Prowess Plain, Urobine, Virigen, Yocon, Yocoral, Yohimex, Yomax, Zumba
This medication is strictly for use under **direct veterinary supervision**, typically in a clinic or hospital setting. - **Purpose:** Used to quickly 'wake up' pets after sedation with certain drugs (like xylazine) or to treat toxicity from tick dips/collars containing amitraz. - **What to Expect:** Your pet may wake up very suddenly. Brief periods of anxiety, panting, drooling, or muscle tremors are normal as the drug takes effect and usually resolve quickly. - **Pain Management:** Because this drug reverses sedation, it also reverses pain relief. Your veterinarian will ensure other pain medications are given if your pet had a surgical or painful procedure.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。

注意事項與禁忌

- **Seizure Disorders:** Use with extreme caution as yohimbine can lower the seizure threshold and induce tremors or convulsions. **Renal Impairment:** Contraindicated in humans with renal disease; use cautiously in veterinary patients with compromised kidney function. > **Important Clinical Pearl - Analgesia Loss:** Reversing xylazine or other alpha-2 agonists will simultaneously remove any provided analgesia. Normal pain perception will return immediately. Ensure alternative pain management (e.g., opioids, NSAIDs) is on board before administration if the patient underwent a painful procedure.
