Dexmedetomidine (Precedex), the dextro optical isomer of medetomidine, is a pharmacologically selective α₂-agonist with sedative, anxiolytic, and analgesic properties. Dexmedetomidine is in the same class as clonidine but differs from clonidine in its eightfold greater affinity for α₂– compared with α₁-receptors than with clonidine. Dexmedetomidine is currently being administered for procedural sedation and as an anesthetic adjunct.

We will come to your office with an experienced anesthesia provider to present and provide training on how to use this medication safely on patients for longer procedures or patients that are difficult to treat with typical sedative agents such as versed and fentanyl.

If desired we can send the information on what is needed and prior to arrival and you can schedule a patient and we will provide over the shoulder coaching the use of precedex after training.
