ANTIPSYCHOTICS<br />
Preparations with antipsychotic actions (i.e. neuroleptics) should be classified in<br />
this group. In veterinary medicine, agents in this group may be used, for example,<br />
as sedatives, anxiolytics, as pre-anesthetics and even anti-emetics, depending on the<br />

classified in QN01AX - Other general anesthetics. Selegiline for veterinary use is<br />
classfied in QN06AX90.<br />
