Introduction of
Carazolol
Carazolol is a ß-adrenoceptor
blocking agent primarily used in pigs to prevent sudden
death due to stress during transport, thus preventing death
losses and deterioration of meat quality. It may also be
used to relieve stress associated with mating in pigs and
parturition in cattle and pigs. Carazolol was previously
evaluated at the thirty-eighth Meeting of the Committee
(Annex 1, reference 97) when a temporary ADI of 0-0.1 µg/kg
bw/day was established. Further information was requested
concerning the pharmacological no-effect level in humans.
