Relaquine – What It Does
Relaquine 35 mg/ml oral gel for horses contains acepromazine, a sedative and tranquilliser. Vets use it to help reduce anxiety and produce mild to moderate sedation in horses.

Some horses become tense, excited or difficult to manage in certain situations. This can make handling risky for both the horse and the people around them. When used correctly under veterinary guidance, Relaquine helps the horse stay calmer and more settled.

Benefits of Relaquine 35 mg/ml Oral Gel 10ml

✔ Helps reduce anxiety and overreaction in nervous horses
✔ Supports safer handling for vets, handlers and owners
✔ Useful for selected procedures and management situations
✔ Oral gel format avoids injection in many cases
✔ Dosed individually according to your vet’s plan
✔ Used as part of a wider safety and handling strategy

How Relaquine Works
Relaquine 35 mg/ml oral gel for horses contains acepromazine, a phenothiazine sedative. It acts on the central nervous system to produce tranquillisation and reduced responsiveness.

The horse usually becomes quieter and less reactive to normal stimuli. This effect can make it easier to carry out certain tasks safely.

Relaquine does not provide pain relief. Vets often combine careful handling, appropriate restraint and other medicines where pain control is needed.

When Vets Use Relaquine
Your vet may prescribe Relaquine 35 mg/ml oral gel for horses for situations such as:

• Handling and management
Helps some horses stay calmer for tasks like clipping, loading or shoeing, when your vet agrees it is suitable.

• Selected minor procedures
Supports safer, quieter behaviour for certain examinations or minor interventions, where acepromazine is appropriate.

• Stress reduction in specific cases
Helps reduce anxiety in horses that react strongly to particular routine events, under a clear veterinary plan.

Relaquine is not right for every horse or every situation. Your vet will assess temperament, health status and any underlying conditions before deciding whether to use this medicine.

How to Give Relaquine Gel
Relaquine 35 mg/ml oral gel for horses is supplied in an oral syringe. It is designed for use in the mouth, not mixed into feed.

Your vet will:

• Calculate the correct amount for your horse

• Explain how to place the gel into the side of the mouth

• Advise how long before the planned event you should give it

• Outline how to handle and tie the horse while the effect develops

You must follow these instructions closely. Allow the horse to stand quietly in a safe area while you wait for the gel to take effect. Never give extra doses without talking to your vet first.

If you think not all the gel stayed in the mouth, contact your vet for advice before you consider more.
