Dexmedetomidine

An alpha-2 agonist sedative related to clonidine, approved in the United States in 1999 for short-term sedation in intensive care. Today it is also used in surgery, for acute agitation and in veterinary medicine for dogs and cats. This family brings together the active ingredient, labelled standards, nitrosamines and other impurities.
