Acepromazine is a veterinary tranquilizer/sedative and is not intended for human use. It depresses activity in the central nervous system, producing sedation and reduced activity.
If a person takes acepromazine, possible effects include marked drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, abnormal muscle movements, and slowed breathing. More serious poisoning can cause dangerously low blood pressure, respiratory depression, seizures, coma, cardiac arrest, and, rarely, death.
Because human dosing and safety aren't established, someone who accidentally swallowed acepromazine shouldn't try to judge safety based on the dose prescribed for a dog or horse. If you're asking because someone actually took it, tell me the tablet strength (for example, 10 mg or 25 mg), approximately how much was taken, the person's age/weight, and when it happened, and I can help assess how urgent it may be.
