Alfaxan® has been used successfully in Australia and New Zealand for a number of years and it is now being launched in the UK with the added advantage of an outstanding practice support package from Vétoquinol.  Alfaxan® is a clear, colourless solution of alfaxalone solubilised in cyclodextrin. Cyclodextrin, unlike Cremophor® EL, does not cause histamine release in dogs and cats.
