Cepetor

**Cepetor** is a veterinary brand name for medetomidine hydrochloride, a potent synthetic α2-adrenergic receptor agonist formulated as a 1 mg/ml solution for injection primarily for dogs, and also cats. It provides reliable sedation and analgesia, making it suitable for clinical examinations, minor procedures, premedication for general anesthesia, and facilitating handling. Developed originally by Orion Pharma, it is marketed by companies including Modern Veterinary Therapeutics (Canada/US), CP Pharma, and historically Bioniche Life Sciences for distribution in regions like Australia. Effects are reversible with atipamezole (e.g., Revertor). Dosing typically ranges from 10-40 µg/kg IV/IM for premedication, with effects metabolized hepatically.
