The drug has a sedative, analgesic effect, and also acts as a muscle relaxant.Β Xylazine is an Ξ±2-adrenergic agonist.Β The drug acts on the central nervous system by activating Ξ±2-adrenergic receptors, which leads to a decrease in the release of norepinephrine.Β By stimulating Ξ±2-adrenergic receptors, xylazine has analgesic and sedative effects.Β Also, the drug causes relaxation of skeletal muscles by blocking the intraneural transmission of impulses in the central nervous system.
