EQUIDEX

EQUIDEX contains Luprostiol, which is a synthetic prostaglandin (structurally similar to PGF2?). It causes regression of the corpus luteum, which is followed by return to oestrus & normal ovulation.

It has a number of uses in horses:

– Treating lactation anoestrus (oestrus & ovulation should occur 4-8 days after treatment)

– Inducing abortion- Mares can be treated from 1 week-5 months after mismating. Abortion should occur within 7 days of injection. Some cases, particularly those in later pregnancy, might require a second or third treatment.

– Ending persistent dioestrus (in mares, oestrous should happen within 5 days of treatment, then ovulation 2-4 days after)

– Establishng oestrous cycles in maiden or barren mares

– Inducing parturition (labour), in horses at least 330 days into their gestation. They must also have relaxed pelvic ligaments & a functioning udder with colostrum. After treatment, parturition should occur in a few hours.
