Rompun (xylazine injection) is a veterinary sedative that produces sedation, analgesia, and muscle relaxation. It is commonly used in horses and Cervidae species-including fallow deer, mule deer, sika deer, white-tailed deer, and elk-when a controlled state of sedation with a relatively short period of pain relief is desired. By reducing stress and physical resistance, Rompun helps veterinarians safely handle animals and perform a variety of medical procedures while minimizing discomfort.
In horses, Rompun is widely used during diagnostic procedures such as oral and ophthalmic examinations, abdominal or rectal palpation, vaginal examinations, bladder catheterization, and radiographic imaging. It is also useful for orthopedic procedures like applying casts or splints, dental treatments, and minor surgical procedures of short duration, including wound suturing, debridement, or removal of small skin growths. Additionally, Rompun can calm fractious animals to facilitate safe handling and may be administered therapeutically to provide sedation and pain relief following injury or surgery. It is also used as a preanesthetic before general anesthesia or in combination with local anesthetics during more extensive procedures.
In Cervidae species, Rompun serves similar purposes by calming animals and enabling safe handling during diagnostic examinations and minor surgical procedures. It can also be used therapeutically to provide sedation and pain relief after injury or surgery, or as a preanesthetic before local anesthesia. At recommended dosages, Rompun may be safely combined with local anesthetics such as procaine or lidocaine to enhance pain management during veterinary treatments.
Rompun (xylazine injection) should be used with caution in horses and Cervidae that have significantly depressed respiration, severe heart disease, advanced liver or kidney disease, severe shock, or are under environmental stress such as extreme heat, cold, high altitude, or fatigue. It should not be used together with tranquilizers, and caution is advised when combining it with other central nervous system depressants, such as barbiturates, because their effects can be additive and increase the risk of respiratory depression. The analgesic effect of Rompun can vary, particularly in the distal extremities of horses and Cervidae, so the depth of analgesia should always be evaluated before performing clinical or surgical procedures.
Proper administration and monitoring are important to reduce complications. Intracarotid or intra-arterial injection must be avoided because it may cause violent seizures and collapse. Care should be taken to ensure injection into the correct vein in horses, and into large muscle groups in Cervidae to achieve predictable results. In Cervidae, it is recommended that animals be fasted prior to administration to reduce the risk of aspiration or bloat during deep sedation. Animals should be allowed to reach full sedation before handling or transport, kept in a stable position with adequate ventilation, and protected from extreme temperatures until recovery is nearly complete.
Rompun is not for human use and must be kept out of reach of children. Accidental self-injection, ingestion, or contact with skin, eyes, or mucous membranes should be strictly avoided; if exposure occurs, the affected area should be washed thoroughly and medical attention sought if symptoms develop. Pregnant individuals should take special care to avoid exposure due to the risk of uterine contractions and reduced fetal blood pressure.
In animals, side effects may include muscle tremors, slowed heart rate, partial atrioventricular heart block, and reduced respiratory rate. Horses may occasionally experience sweating, while Cervidae may show salivation, vocalizations, grinding of teeth, protruding tongue, or elevated body temperature. Capture-related mortality has been reported in Cervidae, with clinical trials indicating an approximate rate of 3.5% associated with xylazine administration.

Disposal of Medical Sharps
- When you're finished with the syringe and needle, do not try to recap, remove, bend or break the needle. This is where most injuries occur.
- Dispose the syringe and needle immediately in a nearby sharps container. All sharps must be deposited in a puncture-proof container. Make sure your storage location is child and animal proof.
- As with all product handling, make sure you wash your hands after handling medical sharps.
Disposal of Sharps Container
- When your sharps container is half-full, sift dry Portland Cement throughout the sharps. Fill the container with water, and rotate until the cement is mixed and the sharps have been distributed throughout the cement mixture. Let cement dry for 24 hours.
- Seal the lid of the container tightly and use duct tape to seal. Label the container "Livestock Sharps" to properly identify the contents.
- Dispose of the containers in accordance with your state's regulations.
