Product Description

Ketamine Hydrochloride Injection, USP is a sterile, non-pyrogenic aqueous solution of ketamine hydrochloride
intended for intravenous or intramuscular administration. Ketamine is a rapid-acting dissociative anesthetic

enhanced skeletal muscle tone, cardiovascular and respiratory stimulation, and occasionally transient and
minimal respiratory depression.

chloride 0.01%] as preservative, and Water for Injection q.s. pH adjusted with hydrochloric acid as required
(pH range 3.5–5.5). Solution is clear and colorless; do not use if discolored or if particulate matter is present.

Supplied for use in veterinary medicine and for in vitro / non-clinical laboratory research under an appropriate
controlled-substance registration. Not for human use. Not for resale to end consumers.

Warnings and Precautions

• Controlled substance. Ketamine is a Schedule III controlled substance in the United States and is
  scheduled or otherwise restricted in most jurisdictions. Diversion, misuse, and abuse carry legal penalties.
• Secure storage required. Store in a securely locked, substantially constructed cabinet with access limited
  to authorized personnel. Maintain perpetual inventory and dispensing records per DEA 21 CFR Part 1304 or
  local equivalent.
• Ketamine does not produce adequate skeletal muscle relaxation; supplemental agents may be required.
• Emergence reactions (vocalization, ataxia, excitement) may occur during recovery; recover animals in a quiet,
  dimly lit environment.
• Use with caution in patients with elevated intracranial or intraocular pressure, significant hypertension,
  cardiac decompensation, or hepatic/renal impairment.
• Airway management equipment, oxygen, and resuscitation capability must be immediately available.
• Not for use in animals intended for human consumption unless specifically permitted by local authority;
  observe applicable withdrawal periods.
• Handle with standard PPE. Avoid accidental self-injection — seek immediate medical attention if it occurs.
