title: Extralabel use of anesthetic and analgesic compounds in cattle.
abstract: The need for drugs for sedation, anesthesia, or analgesia in cattle is relatively common in bovine practice. Because almost nothing is specifically approved for anesthesia or analgesia in cattle, the administration of most of these drugs represents extralabel drug use. The primary purpose of this article is to discuss the pharmacokinetics of the main drugs used for sedation, anesthesia, or analgesia in cattle, including information on meat and milk withdrawal where possible.
