Tiletamine is a dissociative anesthetic chemically and pharmacologically related to other anesthetics in this family such as ketamine and phencyclidine.

It is used in veterinary medicine in the compound product Telazol® (tiletamine/zolazepam, 50mg/ml of each in 5ml vial) as an injectable anesthetic.. It is sometimes used in combination with xylazine (Rompun®) to tranquilize large mammals such as bears and horses. Telazol is the only commercially available tiletamine product.

Tiletamine/zolazepam products are classified as Schedule III controlled substances in the United States.
