COMPOSITION
Altrenogest 50mg/mL

ACTIONS
Altrenogest induces a hormonal state resembling pregnancy by mimicking the action of endogenous progesterone. Treatment with altrenogest blocks follicle development and oestrus in non-pregnant animals by suppressing cyclical release of gonadotrophins. Suppression of the normal sexual cycle results in prevention of the signs of oestrus in mares. Mares return to heat and release natural hormones again once treatment stops. Treatment with altrenogest makes it possible to regulate the breeding of mares.
Pharmacokinetic studies conducted in geldings have shown blood levels of altrenogest are maintained for 6 days following administration of the injection. Studies have been conducted to support suppression of behavioural signs of oestrus in cycling mares for 5 days following administration of Readyserve Altrenogest Injection for Horses.

INDICATIONS
For the suppression of oestrus in normally cycling mares.
For the maintenance of pregnancy in mares at risk of early embryonic death or abortion where progesterone deficiency is thought to be the underlying cause.

PRESENTATION
30mL sterile multidose glass vial.

RESTRAINTS
DO NOT USE in horses that may be used for human consumption.

CONTRA-INDICATIONS:
This product is contraindicated for use in stallions or geldings. This product is contraindicated for use in mares with a previous or current history of uterine inflammation (i.e. acute, subacute or chronic endometritis), as progestagens may exacerbate existing low-grade uterine inflammation into a fulminating uterine infection.

PRECAUTIONS:
There is evidence that when progestagens are administered to rats during the embryonic stage of pregnancy at doses higher than the recommended equine dose, foetal abnormalities (specifically masculinization of female genitalia) can result.
Withholding Periods Meat DO NOT USE in horses intended for human consumption.

STORAGE
Store below 25°C (Air Conditioning). Store in an upright position. Protect from light.
