Hydroxyprogesterone ester

A long acting hydroxyprogesterone ester of particular benefit in cases where an abortion threatens, and where a mare has a history of slipping.

Hydroxy P500 assists the natural hormone function of the individual mare and imparts an increased settling effect on the uterus, preparing it for the attachment of the embryo; and is indicated as routine procedure for many mares during the breeding season. In such cases, it is usual to administer one dose of Hydroxy P as soon as the mare ovulates after being served.

In instances where an abortion threatens, additional therapy with Hydroxy P is advisable as a routine safeguard. This will be of considerable benefit at the acknowledged "danger periods" of the pregnancy.

For mares with a history of slipping their foals, continuous administration throughout the pregnancy, at intervals of 4 weeks, is advised. At the discretion of the attending veterinarian, such therapy is normally stopped 6-8 weeks prior to foaling.

Administration: 5ml by the I.M route every 4 weeks, as directed by the veterinarian.

Pack Sizes
Hydroxy P is available in single dose vials in packs of 10
