TILETAMINE

• Tiletamine  is one of the cyclohexanone dissociative agent related to ketamine.
• This is often combined with zolazepam hydrochloride which is a nonphenothiazine pyrazolodiazepinone tranquilizer.
• This combination helps to reduce the occurrence of seizures which are likely to occur more if tiletamine alone is used in the wild animals.
