Fifteen minutes before administration of 2.4 mg of imidocarb dipropionate\/kg IM, horses in the first group were pretreated with 0.02 mg of atropine sulfate\/kg IV, the second group with a combination of 0.2 mg of butylscopolammonium bromide\/kg IV and 25 mg of metamizole sodium\/kg IV, the third group with 1.1 mg of flunixin meglumine\/kg IV, and the fourth (control) group with 1 mL of saline (0.9% NaCl) solution\/50 kg IV.

Only 1 horse that received butylscopolammonium-metamizole pretreatment had signs of abdominal pain and 3 had diarrhea, which was numerically but not significantly different than the control group.
